Re: [FTC]: Game Hints???

In previous years' games, there have been rules about materials used as a color filter for a light sensor, but the games have never really necessitated their use.
For example, last year's rule R5.c.25 stated: "Any material strictly used as a color filter for a Light Sensor.".

Anyone else see a few similarities between that and the latest picture on Ken's blog? Perhaps different colored game pieces?

Re: [FTC]: Game Hints???

re the last hint, the colored spots and "whirlwind" make me think of a Twister game mat.

Bob has a new attachment on his rear. Looks like a tow bar, or maybe a sensor on the end of a shiny bar that could swivel.

Emphasis on the word "might". Who's the say if it is a diversion or is not? The GDC knows...
