2007 Official FRC Game Hint / Email Blast

[Jeremiah H]

I like the baseball thoery. Maybe like a shooting gallery in the outfield, and a shooter bot has to sit on home plate and tries to hit the targets and the other bots are attempting to block, with positions switching halfway through game time...
Yeah, I know, Im reaching, but there isn't a whole lot to work with... I miss the riddles.

P.S.- to Dave and the GDC- Enjoying yourselves?

if you look closely, it's clear that they aren't reffering to water (being that such a condition is very hard to build robots for). the wisps of blue "force" are juxtaposed with black space. looks like pneumatic will be used to hold up 5 platforms or something...

Look at dlavery's user title..

"LMAO..."

- it looks vaguely like a q-ball.
- I think that the whirls imply a spherical object
- maybe there are only going to be five pieces.

[Dylan Gramlich]

Johnny 5 ALIVE!!! i get the corrolation! maybe it is just saying we will have robots in this years game.

[Sislith]

The hint means there will be a game with robots on a field of some kind.

How do you get that from a 5?

[iceman]

I was thinking of a blue light that you can track with five manhole like items on the field that you lift in order to score a goal.

[JaneYoung]

I really like the 5.
5,4,3,2,1 - blast off.

I really like that....

[Éowyn]

Alrighty, here's my theory. The number 5 signifies that we will, once again, have five robots competing at once with one robot "guarding" or something. The diamond plate could either mean we will, as has been mentioned before, a circular arena, or a "king of the hill" sort of thing. It kind of looks like a manhole, but where's the fun in that? Unless, of course, there are scattered manholes to test your robots suspesion, or a raised manhole you somehow must get your grossly oversized robot on top of. or maybe its just another ramp.

Now for the background. It kind of looks like water, and my mom said that maybe there are out of bounds areas that either are or look like water. Or they could use water jugs . . .

The possibilities are endless!

[Ashwin]

Maybe this year the game is going to be called HIGH FIVE ?!?!?!
