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

Rack 'n' Roll was like that in several areas, in my opinion. Lots of levels of involvement during design/build and during the competition among the alliances.

This is neither here nor there but all the spires around the area of Copley Square would invite a great ring toss or stacking game. (I know, this has been suggested. )
Anything is possible. Let's say we know that the game object is a ball like 2006. Even then, the most we can do is brain storm robot ideas but not much more than that because we are not certain of anything. Besides, the real key to even thinking of a good robot design is in the rules book. This will never be seen until after kickoff.

If I had to guess, an object around those co ordinates represents the game object or the field and it is something relatively simple. I have not kept up with this thread or the game hint mostly because this year I do not feel the need to decrypt the game hint. But I hope all of you are having fun
