Re: The Hint in the Blog

I'm assuming nobody here noticed the 'hint' hidden in the blog about the KOP opt-out? The render of the AM14U2's cross-section reveals lower wheel holes. Can we assume there will be terrain this year?

Looking at the pics, if we have 4'' wheels standard then I'm still seeing less than an inch of frame clearance, so no.

Re: The Hint in the Blog

Tiwai Point is surrounded by bodies of water. The "think big, be big" comment from the other game hint thread also points to the ocean. It all makes sense now: Water game confirmed.

Re: The Hint in the Blog

Wouldn't that imply ocean game? Unless the robots are so small that it's to scale of the field being an ocean.

This is the most shaky part of my argument, I'll admit. But I am willing to go out on a limb and say that ocean = water.

If you remove the s in soil, it says oil. It must mean that it has something to do with oil! If we combine this with the water game theories, it has to be involved in offshore oil drilling.

If you remove the il in oil, you get o. The o kind of looks like a Logomotion/Rack N' Roll/Toroid Terror tube.

Tube game confirmed!
