If we're all underthinking things, then I think that means you're overthinking them. Every year, everyone reads too much into the hints given by Dave.

It would be sooo funny if the Game hint for this year was this picture.

Re: dlavery game hint

It probably isn't much. 3 on 3 is the current norm. However I'm having thoughts that the Blue, Red, and Gree 'lights' at the top, is actually the field configuration. If you look really close at the top three, the blue is cut off on the left, the green on the right, and the red is full circle.



I figure this by saying that the yellow fish and the yellow banana are across each other...the orange fish and the orange eyebrow are across each other, the blue eye and the light blue mark on the fish is across each other.

EDIT: You know how there is a picture of Dave tossing his Red snappers and said "Maybe they are Herring". Well after some research, in 2004 75% of all Red Snapper was actually found out to be labeled incorrectly, for those Red Snapper where a whole different fish...Red Herring...Now All I need to find is a connection.

This is actually what I was thinking.

The delineation between the "groups" is clear by the line.

Defense bot has the banana.

Keep-away comes to mind, but it's too aggressive for FIRST.

If this hint is in any way relevant to the game, I think that we might see alliances that shift based on some aspect of the game--time or possession. Not a big shift, but some sort of one.

Or, maybe teams will be limited to one half of the field--the half opposite to their alliance station, to make it difficult, and will thus "face off" against each other.

I'm waiting for a more specific game hint though.

Re: dlavery game hint

Looking at the picture in Tetramans post I thought of this. What if there are 3 - 2 team alliances, one blue, one green and one red, with the field divided in half. One bot in each alliance has to be on each side, but things that happen on one side affects what happens on the other. Just an idea, I can't wait to find out how wrong I am.

Oh my god.

My first Lavery hint was four years ago.

Re: dlavery game hint

I hope I don't ruin any of Dave's fun, but the Herring thing does have nothing to do with this unless it just so happens.

The picture of him tossing the Red Herring/Red Snapper is located on a website of one of the team members of 116 where she photoshops pics of Dave. Google image it.

I have a feeling the shift in the line via the ripples is actaully a hint. Such as stairs. A game field that is split in half by two levels, seperated in the center by stairs.

Re: dlavery game hint

I just got off on a tangent: juggling. I can't help but think that dlavery is juggling the red herring in that picture posted a while back. It kinda makes sense, jello the clown would juggle for the crowd's entertainment, especially at the circus.

Re: dlavery game hint

The red herring photo is exactly that: a red herring.

So if the red herring is a red herring, then what's a real hint?

Re: dlavery game hint

I'm getting a weird feeling that this is the actual hint. The game hint should be out by now, shouldn't it.
