Re: 2006 Official Game Hint Discussion

The word 'bots in the first line troubles me. The fact that it was shortened from robots either means that the number of syllables has some significance, or that the missing letters "ro" have some significance.

In the second line, if we assume the "shovel's show" is what the shovel on the Montana state flag points to, we find the letters "ORO", or more precisely the shovel points to "RO".

Now before anyone suggests "ro ro ro your bot", I looked up the acronym RORO and found this:

Quote:
"Ro/Ro"

A shortening of the term, "Roll On/Roll Off." A method of ocean cargo service using a vessel with ramps which allows wheeled vehicles to be loaded and discharged without cranes.
So, could there be some sort of ferry that we have to use to achieve a goal, or might we have to ferry something (like another robot) to a goal?
