Re: 2006 Official Game Hint Discussion

After thinking about this and reading this thread all the way through here are my opinions/ideas:

I think the fun noodles are a definite possibility as the game piece or maybe a multiplier (like the 30" balls in 2004)

I don't know about the five part most of the options have been discussed already so I won't repeat them, I'll just state my opinions on some of the ones I've read, 5 v. 0 I hope not doesn't seem like it would be as much fun., It seems like 3 v. 3 worked well last year I would like to see it again., I like the idea of a FIRST "house" bot in 2 v. 2 game but it isn't practical when it comes to teams building practice fields.

The shovel clue might mean the robots have to pick up small game pieces (tennis ball, mini basket or soccer balls) and score them or deliver them to the human player for them to score with (that seems to close to 2004 though). Maybe the human player has a shovel like scoop to load small game pieces onto the robot.

I think the heights means the robots will either have to be doing something up high, maybe thats where the goal is or something (like the bar in 2004, goals in 2005), or there is some kind of platform or high part of the field (ramp and platform in 2003)



as for seeing and green parts: I hope this means the CMU Cam is back again, personally I think it was a good part of the game but they didn't make it worth the effort to use it.

Can't wait till Kickoff!!
