Re: 2011 FRC Game Hint #2
I think it's a good bet that there is going to be some kind of blast from the past involved in this game. There's a lot of evidence pointing there.
However, I don't think there will be trains and I don't think the logo has to do with the game pieces. If it did, my money would be on the cylinder since the other two "add up" to it. Somehow, though, I don't feel like the GDC would be that obvious.
I have noticed something that I haven't seen anybody else mention. Look at how we reacted to this hint. Before the hint, I kind of took the logo for granted. I knew about its origins from the video about Archimedes, but it was still just a logo. But, as soon as they posted it as a hint, we all started re-examining the logo (a game element so crazy it makes us re-examine FIRST???)--which the GDC could easily anticipate us doing--looking into its history and origins (blast from the past game)--also something the GDC could anticipate us doing--and interpreting the symbolism of the shapes, the linkage, and even the color scheme (I got nothin').
I would like to think said crazy game element would be treadmills, which I believe someone either mentioned in this thread or the first game hint thread. It would fit in with the locomotion idea without using trains. But who knows? It might be that our robots go on the walls instead of the floor.
Fuel for the fire.
