Re: Game Hint #1

My serious thoughts: Moon fish is an allusion to the playing field being somewhat lunar; rocks, craters, etc... (Not real, of course, but some sort of wood/PVC concoctions). I can imagine TPTB wanting to give the game some sort of potential real world application (or would lunar exploration be out-of-this-world?) Additionally, after years of building drivetrains, we're all pretty comfortable with throwing one together that functions on level ground. They're mixing things up with the cRIO instead of the IFI this year, so who's to say that they're not contimuing this trend?

My optimistic, yet completely unrealistic thoughts: "Opah" is a homonym of "Opa!". This year's challenge will involve flaming cheese.
