Cool Re: 2007 Official FRC Game Hint / Email Blast

Well I forgot all about the clue coming out until a little while ago, and while at first I also was a little dissapointed by the simplicity if it, there certainly has been pleanty of discussion. I read through 8 pages before I realized there were 43! I just don't have that kind of time, so here are my first thoughts without reading all that's been said. Forgive me if its already been mentioned.

5 robots working together in a timed event like the year robots and goals had to be balanced on a see-saw. This time however they must balance on a disk supported off the ground at the center.

I don't think there's any way first would do a water game because of the issues it would cause with venues. No one wants their nice wood gym floor destroyed by splash or spill causing a water soaked carpet that takes days to dry,and who will pay for the damage. Not to mention the fact that water and electricity really don't mix very well from a safety standpoint.

There could however be some field element refered to as something to do with water like "crossing the moat" as you would have to do in the clue photo to get to the disk. The FLL games had a water "theme" a few years ago.

Maybe the disk has one flat edge so you can tip that side down and make it stable to get on.

Seems too obvious but who knows.

I guess we'll all know Saturday!!!
Luck to all
