Anyway, I think FIRST has gone downhill lately, going all CGI. We won't even have real, physical robots this year!

If only the photo was bigger... I'm surprised no one has said to enhance their phones (there's paper underneath) or to enhance their eyes to see what the monitors have on them... I guess we'll know more January 4th

Re: FRC Blogged - Photo from Kickoff Filming

Here is what we can legitimately infer from this picture

Whatever background they are standing (sitting and Dean) against, green-screen is cheaper than either:
-building a set
-or flying them out to location

The background itself, however, could be:
-a CGI world
-projecting a camera image/footage behind them to spoof a location
-or a generic background with just the FIRST logo or something

I can't believe I get this reference.

On topic, I think this is a red herring. FIRST's metadata says it's "definitely not a game hint", hoping that everyone think's its a game hint because that only makes sense to mess with us.

But if it isn't, this is a huge indicator of something green on the field, and/or three of something on the field.

Re: FRC Blogged - Photo from Kickoff Filming

Also, notice how there is a thin green rug underneath them.

Almost as if the camera ran too low so they had to add more green to complete the CGI.

If you need their feet, maybe the game has something to do with the floor.

Since they have chairs, and solely for this reason, we must be able to eliminate their prescience in a water environment. But the jury is still out for regolith...

Re: FRC Blogged - Photo from Kickoff Filming

I think one of the most important things to take away from this picture, they still have not made denim boots yet.

As for the "red box" appears to be a box of Altoids.

there is also a a drain just in front of the set. More water hints...or maybe we have to cross a valley.

Altoids game!

No, seriously: This looks as ordinary as can be, and most likely* is not any kind of game hint. It's just 3 guys in front of a green screen. As to why they published it, perhaps they just want to give a sense of perspective as to how far in advance these kind of things are done.

Or maybe they're just messing with us Or maybe they just want to rub it in that THEY know the game and we do not...

*Occam's Razor.
