Re: [BB] 2010 Game Hint #1

ive been staring at this thing ever since it came out and i think the key part is the lexan. why would they use lexan instead of aluminum or steel plates? im guessing (because of the holes in the lexan) that something will be mounted to it. And if it was a piece thats going to be directly interacted with by the robots, lexan probably wouldnt have been used because of the possibility of it cracking. so, my guess is that whatever is mounted to it will be something that needs to bee seen from all sides (hence the clear lexan)...something along the lines of a traking light or a becon of somekind.
