If you rearrange the letters in "change is coming" you get mechanics going among other.

Anyway I support the triangle idea.

Re: 2015 HINT DISCUSSION

The last year where there were mobile goals not attached to robots was in 2004. Perhaps the recycling bin on the floor means there will be mobile goals.

Re: 2015 HINT DISCUSSION

What are things that have stayed constant through ALL past games?
Drivebases. DRONE GAME CONFIRMED.
But seriously, that consistency thing might be something worth looking into.

Maybe it's not change, but Chang'e, China's lunar exploration program and the name of the moon goddess. Lunacy coming back? </cringe>

Re: 2015 HINT DISCUSSION

So this whole game has to with change. The people in robotics usually are nerdy kids. We are going to change them so they can have swagger like me. #Diversty

Re: 2015 HINT DISCUSSION

I would like to point out that lunacy's caption states, "Primary field surface isn't carpet for first time since 1992."

Both "Primary" and "first time since 1992" read out to me.

maybe two different field surfaces.

They better not be recycling the material they used for the regolith in lunacy.

I was just going to point that out. Why use that wording? None of the other captions say FIRST TIME or SINCE 1992. May I point out that the part about the carpet field is in section 2.2.1 of the 2014 manual. He was on the second page, and then he seems to put back a page...

Primary is used because in 2006 they had a "secondary" field surface of metal for the platforms used for the endgame.
