Re: 2006 Official Game Hint Discussion
Okay, here is my initial take on this, but a more in depth analysis will come later on.
5 bots
Well, basically, I think that there will be a pentagonal field with 5 robots starting on each point (there have been hexagonal fields in the past). You can't have an even alliance with an odd number, so I don't know how that will work.... which then puts the idea in my head that it won't be just 5 robots OR there won't be alliances OR there won't be even alliances and there could be a 2 VS 3 dealy.
With the pasta
I don't think this is in reference to the game piece, but very questionable. The next two lines deal with the game piece. I think this will either mean the robots are tethered down by something and have limited movement OR are tethered like as in not wireless controlled (the latter don't think to much about. I think that it constricts the movement though, because tangling restricts one movements.
A lot of people on the chief delphi forums are neglecting the fact that it says "AND" in regard to the Montana thing. Meaning that both lines are in reference to the game piece. Meaning that the first line isn't. Now what I think of it is, is that you will have to scoop something up like a shovel would and place it in a goal or equivalent thing on a raised platform in the middle of the field.
I think the GREEN heights mean that you it is with the CMU cam like the vision tetras. Which could also hint at a longer autonomous mode or the shoveling and putting in the goal is something that must be done during autonomous mode. I am going to give it another day or so to think and look at it more so and read the chief delphi forums to get some ideas.
