Or green = recycle = an old game brought back

[John Sabath]

Is this common practice for the images they release, or are they lying to us?

green could be something referring to the environment like going green. we saw this type of further message with ultimate accent last year because they where comparing it with life's challenges

[raptaconehs]

Since it appears that green might be big. The camera light on first choice is also green as opposed to any other color. And could those be referencing something related to a baseball field?

This supports what I seem to remember reading (way back) that no students this year have had robots that handled more than 4 game pieces at a time. I like the thought of having a high quantity game.

Is there any way you could verify these hex codes? Cause I've been to a couple different sites and they all seem to have different colors for these numbers. Also, what decimal did you stop at?

I noticed that this thread is Chief Delphi topic 123456 (seriously, check your address bar). Tried to apply CD thread numbers to the numbers in the hint...no go.

ISO 61126 deals with lamps, ISO 62326 deals with PCBs. Not sure if there's a hint there.

8234/57 seems like a plausible number of points scored (8234) in total by a number of teams (57). I'll throw out this wild idea: say there are 57 teams remaining from 1997 (I don't know that to be a fact, but it's plausible), and those teams scored a combined 8234 points that year. ...so we're playing a re-make of Toroid Terror this year. (No, I'm not being serious. But, if I'm right give me credit )

Guys, if it is a water game... Water can take many forms keep in mind! It could be ice, it could actually be water. I'm willing to bet its a hockey game... This is probably gonna keep me up all night

H-....How-....How does green = baseball field?

And we all have little green lights right next to our usernames.

Maybe... we are the game hint.

Sometimes I wonder if the Game Committee comes here after releasing a hint and just sit back and laugh at all the crazy things we come up with. One thing's for sure, FIRST students are very creative and good and stretching vague stragglers of information into wild guesses. But that's all part of the fun.

After I just copied and pasted these numbers into wolfram alpha, It seemed to think that these were spherical coordinate points, where the first element was an r, the second was yaw and the third was azimuth.

Don't most number based game hints involve some kind of mathematical or physics-related relationship for that years game?
