Please, no more game hint threads. This is the fifteenth (I counted). We only need one.

The one that led to a "weight reduction" sign is by far the least convoluted theory with the clearest payoff, so that's the only one I would point to as being likely to be correct.

Game Hint Thread Thread

Since there are sooo many game hint threads, I thought it would be a good idea to make ANOTHER thread, to keep track of all the threads (linked below, for your convenience of course). No need to thank me.

Re: Game Hint Thread Thread

The number of game hint threads is too darn high!

I think I will have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year and watch the game reveal at kickoff.

Re: Game Hint Solution [probably]

In 2013 robots were only allowed to hold 4 game pieces as a max limit. 25% reduction would be 3.

3 game pieces at a time. Oh dear, another "3"....

Re: Game Hint Solution [probably]

Actually now that I think about it...
2013 - 4 scoring levels (or main scoring targets)
2012 - 4 hoops
2011 - 4 minibot towers
2010 - 4 goals
2008 - 4 scoring balls, zones
Etc....

Reduced by 25%.
(could also be interpreted as going to 5, reducing the limit positively)

Out of curiosity, what is the area of the triangle with vertices at the three google maps locations?

Re: Game Hint Solution [probably]

http://i.imgur.com/YjtI0ND.png

the fact of the sign saying that the weight limit is reduced tells us that we will have to create, or be in, a certain equilibrium with the game environment. it just might be a water game where we all have to float our robots ( we'll have to see how that works out). another idea going around is that it might be a lunar/moon based theme. I was thinking that the reduced weight would be required if we were being hanged from something, as if trying to simulate zero gravity. or the theme could be an underwater astronaut training facility (just throwing that out there).

Re: Game Hint Solution [probably]

So probably not now? I guess this isn't it based on the new info. Which is great because I really didn't want to try to reduce that much weight...

It was a sign that fit really well though...

Talking Re: Game Hint Solution [probably]

This would make a lot of sense. 3D printing would be Key in this game, and it makes even more sense with one of the FIRST Choice options being a lottery for a 3D printer.

Re: Game Hint Solution [probably]

To those who originally went through the work of locating the church, "safety first" sign, and "weight reduced" sign, I say bravo. In spite of the variety of off-topic and wacky ideas, you did a great job of looking at the evidence. Even though it now seems very clear that "assist" is the clue, I still want to say that your idea was state-of-the-art, for its time. Thank you.

Having a 3D printer does not help reduce your robot's weight. I would hate to have a 25% weight reduction.
