Glow in the dark tape measure (2014 game hint)

[Sir Legit]

What I'm getting from this is that we will have to shoot tape measures into goals in the dark.

Or it's a water game.

I think it was to show how strong Stanley tape measures are.

So, reverse logomotion?

I just thought I'd point ou that every 16 inches on the tape measures there is a little red box around the number

PUSHING GAME
16 boxes filled with (you guessed it) water!

Would someone mind taking a picture of this tape measure? Also, have there been any hints from the deans lost ceremony in the past that corresponded with the game?

Here is a side view and a picture of the numbers...

Everybody, it's clearly a hint that the game will be Zone Zeal, all over again.

Is it my DREAM game? a game in the dark, where the field or field outline and all game pieces are glow in the dark! All robots put flashlights on themselves to see better.

It could also lead to climbing. Team 2064 used tape measure to climb to level 3.

And my final conclusion is...Forget about it. its close to impossible to guess a game especially this far ahead of time

The 16 is in red because the standard distance apart to put studs in a wall is 16 inches. On most tape measures the numbers are in red every 16 inches.

The robots will have to build the field with wood studs before they can score.


...It's possible.

I actually really want to see a game with backlight. Something like laser tag would be really fun!
