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

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!!!!

Re: dlavery game hint

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.

Re: dlavery game hint

Ok, this is what I - think - I see in our future:

a. a boatload of humor
b. a rules manual that can not be watered down
c. non-slip strategies
d. a whale of a good time building a robust robot

Re: dlavery game hint

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.

I just looked at this "enhanced picture.." am I the only one that sees a hand reaching for the banana?

You know, at the 2005 kickoff, Woodie Flowers mentioned that he wished the robots could shoot the tetras somewhere, but there was a safety issue involved, then boom, we are shooting balls in 2006. Last year, Dave L. talked about trying to get a water game going, but found there to be a lack of feasibility, due to the infrastructure required. Maybe some water-esque game is coming our way..

I also can't stop thinking about the stop/go red light green light hint he gave in one of his posts.

They tried it already--probably won't go there again.

It was against the clock, and they had to work together, then stop the robot for extra points.

I doubt that they'll do that type of game again. The finals took way too long. (4 minutes of playing time to settle one match of finals, 8 to have someone advance--not counting reset times.)

I see it, thought of it, and decided not to talk about it. It doesn't look right is all.

Re: dlavery game hint

I see it.

And this probably indicates a few things

1) The game is a grabbing game (where you have to grab something)
2) Bumpers are going to be used again (probably just like the bananas)
3) They will be picking up fish and doing something with the fish.
4) Time trial? 4 or 5 vs. 0.
