Well... HINT1 is a human gene... so obviously that means that we're building micro bots to map out the genes of some unknown living organism!
It'll be great!!!!
On a more serious note [or at least as serious as you can get with these game hints], by looking around the picture as much as I have time to with photoshop, I think the flag to the left of the picture looks like the USA flag from far and I can't confirm or deny that one from looking at pixels... But for the one on the right I don't see any blue to say Russia, I agree with a member of my team who said it looked Polish. Although that's if there is not insignia or anything on the middle (there's no way we would know with the resolution) it could even be Texas or North Carolina! And as for the architecture of the building... I would say it sure looks like a sports building... but you know, FIRST is my favorite sport, so how about plans to build a FIRST Stadium! (IN POLAND! Whooohooo!)
