Re: **FIRST EMAIL**/FRC Game Hint #2

Please excuse me because I’m quite new to this forum stuff, but I think everyone here on Chief Delphi is taking this whole hint thing too literally. Two years ago for the “Aim High” game we were given the hint about seeing Mt. Everest’s “Green Heights”, or something to that effect. In the end we realized the hint meant seeing the green light up in the air for targeting the goal. The hint certainly didn’t me to go to Mt. Everest to see what you could see.

I’m not concentrating so much on where the GPS coordinates are pointing, but rather that they are pointing to a specific point on a map. Combine this with the IR board now. It might just mean that these IR boards are going to be pointing to a very specific point on the playing field.

I could be going off on a tangent at this point, but it also seems that the coordinates are pointing at a light post in the square. I could personally read this two ways. Either (A) it means that the IR boards are going to be used in place of the CMU Cams to find this specific point like the green lights. Or (B) it will be used in tandem with the CMU Cams to help track targets on the field like the green lights.

Don’t take my word for it though. I could never be 100% sure about any of my solutions to a game hint. The only thing I know for sure though is that the game hints never give you enough of the picture to figure out the entire game. They only ever seem to give you one very important piece of the puzzle to solve and that’s it.

But that doesn’t stop me from trying…
