pic: 2007 Game Hint?

[mtaman02]

After Looking at the picture for a little bit I will settle on these small details

The Banana is a closed captioning ending e.g. havabanana - I don't think the banana has anything to do with the game itself.

The Plowabot over there looks depressed and maybe even disabled - there could be certain parts of the game in which one or more robots can be disabled for a certain amount of time and it could happen anytime throughout the match.

thats all i got in addition to whatever I said back in May

If you look at the one odd clown fish. It looks as if the eyes were taken out. Maybe that means that there wont be any eyes in other words no more cameras.

What about no eyes for the drivers... maybe they wont be able to see the field
Just putting it out there...

In that case, you would have to use the cameras, and build a display into your OI.

bannana rymes with louisiana,
louisiana was effected by hurricane katrina,
which created the water,
the fish swam through the water to eat,
the robot was feeding them!

WE NEED TO BUILD A FISH FEEDING BOT!

Here's how I think the game "hints" are created.
Dave calls a meeting and says to the FIRST officials: "ok, here's the game this year, and here's a random sentence. Now your job is to find a way to connect them in a way those FIRST kids will buy"

[KJE]

ya I think that the banana has to do with a banana boat and the shadow is actually a boat on top of the water and we have to build a boat that will do something on the water

Since last years game hint was incredibly obfuscated, i'm going to take a stab at it.

fish picture - one fish, two fish, red fish, blue fish
one fish, two fish, red fish, blue fish - writen by doctor seuss
doctor seuss - born in springfield mass.
springfield mass - Kurt russels birth place
kurt russel - in the film 'escape from new york'
'escape from new york' - had a sequel called 'escape from la'
'escape from la' - la has an ocean
la has an ocean - as does florida
florida - has orange trees

thus robots must be able to pick oranges from 8 foot tall trees, and place them in baskets.

am i close?

I have one problem with the water from a logistical standpoint: if there was more than an inch or two of water, first of all, the sheer number of galons of water required would be prohibitive, second, this would require a perfectly water tight arena, again, logisticaly, a total nightmare... and third, the strength of materials required to pen in water more than a foot or so deep would again, be a difficult hurdle to overcome.

I can just imagine the field clean-up crew with a fleet of mops

Now THAT is a robot right there. We could end a lot of starvation problems by way of robot haha

Well, well, well. Another under water hint. Didn't we get this last year, and it turned out to be nothing more than a hint that our speed controllers would be water proof. Maybe I'm wrong, but wouldn't it be slightly dangerous to have electricity powered robots on the field (unless of course, FIRST will be providing us with shells), not to mention the wet floor hazards following each match. I would love an underwater game, but I seriously doubt FIRST would do it, then again, I've been proven wrong millions of time before (actually make that everytime, millions is an understatment.

That's the fish like the one in Nemo...

MORE LIGHTS!

and bananas hang from trees...
are we possibly hanging again?
