Clearly these items exist inside the picture. If you can't see them, then you are have allowed the aliens to hide them from you. Add a tin-foil body suit and everything becomes clear!

I just happen to have my handy dandy little white paper 3 D glasses sitting here at the computer and other than looking swell, I'm here to tell you they did nothing, said nothing, gave nothing away.

- you are not alone - question is, why do I feel normal sharing this?

I believe in intuition and inspiration. Imagination is more important than knowledge. For knowledge is limited, whereas imagination embraces the entire world, stimulating progress, giving birth to evolution. It is, strictly speaking, a real factor in scientific research.

Re: dlavery game hint

If you look at the space in between the top and bottom fish there seems to be a depression in the carpet. I don't know if it's a coincidence but it may mean something. I don't know a placebo, or something crazy like that.

Ya know what I've been looking at the pic so long I'll just wait till January. Or at least till the next clue comes out.

I highlighted these spots for you, click on the image for a larger view.
I think you're looking way too deeply...if his hints are so subtle he wouldn't spend so much time on it.

I'm looking at the fish. They have patterns...like...stripes. As bad an outcome that would make, I'm throwing a guess that we're having our cameras look at patterns.

Re: dlavery game hint

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

Re: dlavery game hint

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.

Re: dlavery game hint

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.

Re: dlavery game hint

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)
