Re: **FIRST EMAIL**/FRC Game Hint #3

Maybe we can divine this year's competition by looking at hints of past years:

Triple Play involved stacking giant tetrahedrons in a game of tic-tac-toe. I wasn't involved back then, so I don't really know that much.

Aim High involved launching foam balls (meatballs?) at targets, represented with green lights ("Montana's green heights"). The shovel could refer either to a robot shoving balls into the lower goals or to ball-collection device.

2007:
The game involved placing inflatable tubes on long "spider-legs," each of which ended with one of the pictured circles representing the column.

Anyone see a pattern here?
