Re: [FRC Blog] 2014 Game Hint

I started wondering if the date the clue was posted could have any connection. Since 1963 seems to be referring to the year I searched for December 20th, 1963 (also, the post is the 50th anniversary of this date). This came up as the day the Berlin wall opened for the first time allowing people to visit relatives on the other side.

This could be a completely irrevelant finding; however, I can't help but think of some kind of game element dividing the field/alliances allowing robots to pass through at certain spots. When I was looking through this thread I found this post which talks about transporting to Berlin. Could this possibly be some sort of coincidence as well?

These vehicles were powered by an alternating current of 15kV and used a variable frequency. The power was transmitted by three vertical overhead lines."

Overdrive?
Other than this I haven't found any other connections that haven't already been pointed out. Maybe someone else might have a thought on this?
