[PhilBot]

Ken's Blog talks about game hints....

Why would we need a Penguin Mascot costume?

Hmmm..

Hope there's no Regolith involved ....

I'm terrible at these clue guessing game hints so I focused on the request for teams to provide input for the GDC for work that begins this weekend on next years game.

Now's your chance to have all of your great ideas heard or read. I already posted my idea as a comment on the blog.

I was just going to say "REGOLITH, NOOOOOOOOO"

I'm sure the penguin was meant to trigger the water game reflex. I'd ignore it and wait.

Ken has posted his next blog and the clues continue to perplex the mind.

Since I just finished "The New Cool" for the umpteenth time, seeing a penguin costume makes me think of two things: Penguins on ice, or regolith, or the famous team the book was written about: The D'Penguineers. Both were featured in 2009's Lunacy. My idea with the D'Pengineers continues with the learn spanish thing, since they come from Dos Pueblos High School, and Dos Pueblos is spanish.

Just connecting some dots that may/may not be there.

Melting.


The record appears as if it started to melt at one point. Also, penguins are commonly associated with ice, which melts.

I FOUND THE RECORD

[FTC-4077]

New Hint just arrived! Another weird one that I cannot understand....



Apples?

[robokiller]

I dont believe its the apples. Apples can be in a tree, on the ground, or on a table. But a basket or a "bowl" (hint towards the record bowl) I belive this could be an action of putting objects into a bowl or the objects already being there.

Hmmm...What could a fancy penguin costume have to do with bowls or donuts?

EDIT:
Penguins can't fly, which could add to the concept of flying discs or donuts that you shoot into a basket...??

[alphadog0309]

I (jokingly) think it might be Tron. Why else would Jeff Bridges be mentioned?!?! And old school records? and Donuts?

Otherwise I think maybe we are looking at another shooting event. Regolith would be awesome not gonna lie but if they go the FTC way its gonna end up being 2-4 tiles of it nothing too exciting....

As long as we don't have regulated wheels otherwise.... I think.... the game might end up being another lunacy....

From the August 12 blog:
"...Tonight they're both on Piers Morgan's CNN show (9pm). I watched his show last night (screen shot above) - Jeff Bridges was his guest, believe it or not he's still getting asked about The Big Lebowski??? Good movie but wasn't that like 20 years ago?
We're also about a month away from the new game release..."

I can only think of one thing...
MAAAIZE CRAAAZE!!!!!!!

Maybe our last hint before Kickoff was just posted on Ken's blog. http://firsttechchallenge.blogspot.com/

Good luck to all the teams and enjoy your kickoff events (if you are attending one).
