Re: [BB] 2010 Game Hint #1

If you will note Dave's picture and the Boxcar Willie Overpass.
He may be adding to the game hint.

" But my favorite part of this procedure, is the approach we take when finalizing our instructions. It's almost always concluded with, "If you get to 'such-in-such', you've gone too far." "

Also:
My favorite ritual in our county, though, is giving directions to visitors and guests. None of us really know the name of streets or roads, we just know that there are usually two ways to get anywhere.
This may connect with the idea stated in Dave's "Morse Code": "Nothing Is As/What It Appears to Be What Is".

Additionally, the pseudonym "Boxcar Willie" aka Lecil Travis Martin. Martin, who was once sitting at a railroad crossing and a fellow that closely resembled his chief boom operator, Willie Wilson, passed by sitting in a boxcar. He said, "There goes Willie." He pulled over and wrote a song entitled "Boxcar Willie". (wikipedia)

We may have to pull game pieces from a track mechanism, or place them on it. Robots may be able to move the game pieces back and forth. There may be an endgame where robots will have to choose between a final position (hanging in 2004), or moving the pieces on a track to gain further points.

The Lexan piece may be a divider on the track or tracks that awards points to the alliance who can adjust its position successfully.

IMHO, this is fun but frivolous speculation to get us to warm up our brains for the upcoming challenge of the next six weeks.

Happy New Year! Blue Moon on New Years Eve. Cool Universe indeed.
