dlavery game hint

[Morgan Gillespie]

During ramp riot I saw Dave walking around with a banana in his pocket. I was standing there thinking hmm...
Bananas
Bananas come in bunches
Grapes come in bunches
Grapes grow on vines
(A)
Vines can climb up walls
Next years game involves climbing up a wall or a very steep incline
Or
(B)
Kudzu is a type of vine
Kudzu "overtakes" anything in its way
Overtake means to catch up and pass something
(B1)
Next years game will also be high scoring
(B2)
Automode next year will also be a very important part of the game and who ever wins has a large point advantage

Maybe there's just going to be a blue line on the carpet, and the bot needs to follow it or even avoid it.
if you think about it they get a Velcro line with blue on it and move it every match.

Guys, we're making the worst connexions since when I linked fat people to Hurricane Katrina.

For the conspiracy fans, I've posted a color enhanced picture so you don't have to squint into the darkness for so long. Levels and color balance have been adjusted. There's also a super saturated version just in case you're really looking for the little things.

Hey out there,
I notices something on another thread on Team 488 (Xbot's) Holonomic drive that piqued my interest. Dave Lavery was commenting on the drive and asked if it could climb stairs. So maybe this year we'll be playing around with stairs.

There's my conspiracy theory for the day.

And his Red Herring.

I have a feeling, that this is going to be a pointless thread around the end of december.
Dont get me wrong, i love people throwing out ideas and getting their imagination flowing, thats what i LOVE to do. Makes me think of off the wall things and things that i dont need to be thinking about.
But i bet 10/1 that there is only 1 thing in this picture that has to do with the game. And all oif these theorys about a conspiracy with the water and the rings and every other thing. the thing that this picture was meant to do, was to keep peoples minds going on FIRST thru the off season. And it worked. good job dave
*But i still keep looking for more things on this picture dispite the fact i think its futile*

At least 4 things, not 1.

4 things in the greatly enhance picture

1. The blue moat (a barrier to stop the robot)
2. The fish ( objects you have to fish out on the other side of barrier )
3. Eye ball (sensor on the robot to see the fish )
4. YELLOW Banana Like this year green light (one YELLOW is brighter
indicating whose turn)

I am fairly confident that the robot will be involved atleast to some extent.

I would start with
1.) Robot
2.) Carpet
3.) field lines

[Neil Cameron]

I dunno. a game where only one side is on the offensive would make an interesting game. i should stop staring at this picture for hours.

QUICK! SCRUTINIZE EVERY SINGLE PIXEL!!!!!

Ha ha... I prefer this hint over last year's (tangling with pasta, yada yada yada...) b/c the hints are there (see quote), we just have to find them... not like last year where we actually had to come up with them- and yes, I'm lazy at solving riddles (probably because when I get nowhere with them, I get frustrated and give up)... CURSE DAVE AND HIS TRICKERY!!!

The clock is ticking towards kickoff... YAY!!!!

Don't worry, I am sure we can expect a wonderful official hint at the end of december/begining of january

[Donut]

Our official game hint/nights of sleeplessness should begin in about 3 weeks, right?

If we're getting this much speculation over this picture, I can't wait to see how long this year's game hint thread will be.

Okay, that was so obscure I actually had to wiki it.
