This could be this years game.

I designed a game based on this last year... It'll be really cool if it ends up as his year's game

In this satellite view you can see it's 3-sided.

i tryed to do a bit of bit map imaging on the binary too, to try and figure out the pattern but found nothing. I think that the best idea about the pattern (IMO) is reference to hanoi towers in the sence that we will be making stacks that have to form a pyramid type shape, the closer it is to the corret shape, the more points

thinking about this more, its a triangular structure, 3 sides, 3 minutes in, 3 colours... maybe a connection

very interesting non the less

My final prediction for the game involves the first lyric to Kiss From A Rose.

There used to be a graying tower alone on the sea.

There will be a neutral structure in the middle of the field. It'll be the main focus.

I also think stacking will be involved, and the endgame hasn't yet been mentioned in this thread.

Hello all, I've converted the Binary (with some clipping done) to text. The base wasnt in 8 or anything significant.

Also, if anyone wants to look into this a bit further.

This is referred to as the Second Great Seal of the United States found on the one dollar bill. It clearly shows the pyramid: are we back to tetra shapes? The latin phrase is generally translated as the "new order of the world" which could be viewed as Dean's attempt to change society, or may be referring to a major change in FIRST's FRC game. The latter could be confirmation that robot dimensions are in fact changing. A smaller robot foot print would allow for more robots on the field. Many have pointed out that three alliances is not practical, but what if FIRST is making another leap forward and we are going to 4 vs. 4? Last year's asymmetrical driver's stations had one station smaller than the other two. Was this a test to see what impact it would have on teams? Few, if any teams complained about the reduced space for the drive team. So First could conceivably fit four driver stations in the end zone. I'm not sure what that would do to the Human Player position.

The increased robots per matched has been tied to longer game times as well. Could increasing the match to 3:00 minutes be one of the changes recommended by the Einstein report? If a robot or radio were to disconnect from the field, a longer match would possibly allow that machine to reconnect before the match ended thus reducing the impact of a dead robot. Also with four robots per alliance, one dead robot still leaves an alliance functioning at 75% capacity as opposed to 66% capacity for a three robot alliance.

Also, the pyramid is topped by the all seeing eye. Is camera vision playing a major part in this year's game?

Nicely predicted.

Anyone think they figured out what the hint completely meant? I am still confused...

[johnmaguire2013]

The best I can figure out is the climbing thing is a pyramid.

Ive figured most of it out
A rose,Kissed- I have no Idea
A singer Great- This was a mistake and should be A sinster tree, sinster being a metal steel like alloy
A dinner missed-when you turn the Frisbee upside down it looks like a empty dinner plate as in you never showed up(or MISSED) to dinner
Holding weigh- Could either be a reference to the fact weight is now used to figure the score or the fact that you need to hold yourself up.

As for Astley I have no Idea either
Team 369 is very excited

Never gonna give you up- probably refering to the fact that after the game pieces are scored they don't get put back into play.

You are a genius, I would have made that connection. Any guess on A rose, Kissed
