Re: [FRC Blog] 2014 Game Hint
What's the consensus on Andy Baker's baseball video at this point? I'm feeling like the bulk of the evidence (including that video and the other statements from first and andymark) is pointing in the direction of a baseball-related game. I will also point out that the first thing I noticed about "The Photo" is that the green screen reminds me of the Green Monster. The official hint seems likely to be about weight limits in one way or another, and unrelated to the "theme". So...
If it is baseball, how do you think it could be played? I'm not inclined to think that the only baseball-like part of the game would be the size of the balls; that's too much like Aim High. If it's hitting or striking balls, that might be an interesting challenge. Baseball, by it's nature, is slow moving, which doesn't fit very well with FRC's style. How do you imagine the sport might be modified or adapted to make it a viable FRC game? I don't have very many answers at this point, and I realize that whatever we imagine, it probably won't turn out to be correct. Still I'd love to see what you all think might be possible. Thanks! |

Re: [FRC Blog] 2014 Game Hint
@FRCTeams just tweeted this:
Yes...kind of RT @2767StrykeForce: Less than a week until kickoff! Has anyone figured out the hint? #omgrobots In my opinion this is the FRC telling us that someone, in some thread read by them, is on the right track. I propose we go back through past suggestions no matter how unusual and make sure we didn't push something aside that was somewhat correct. |

Re: [FRC Blog] 2014 Game Hint
How heavy was the previous kitbot? The 25% weight reduction might be just referring to the transition to the new one.

Not sure if this is too useful, but the GDC posted on their Twitter a couple of hours ago:

They also posted that the underscores are spaces. Though, why is the GDC avatar a Lunacy trailer? And #allregolithallthetime (https://twitter.com/search?q=%23allr...ime&src=hash)?
