2007 Official FRC Game Hint / Email Blast

[Andrew Blair]

Well, after wading through 14 pages of information wasteland, I found two, maybe three, legitimate bits of information.

1. The picture is a frame from a video. No EXIF, compressed, etc. (ArtDutra04)


2. The blue ring on the outside has gloss indicative of a torus. (Greg Needel)


3. There is an operator station on the far right of the image. (No idea. somewhere towards the end of 14 pages of boredom)



Ahh, time for assumptions!

The blue thingy, number, etc. is most likely a splash screen/transition for Dave's video. Meaning, that the five has much more to do with how the game, or maybe just Dave's video is organized. Five consecutive periods, five ways to score, five important points, whatever.

If the blue thing is in fact a torus, it would make sense that Dave would incorporate it into his animation, including his transitions. Torus may show up somewhere.


The operator station in the far right of the image supports the assumption that this is simply a transition shot- a transparent torus flies over the screen, that's pointing towards the field, allowing for a position, focus, or time change.



No game can be remotely investigated through the game hints, so I won't try. But I am disappointed that there isn't a riddle...

EDIT- Ironic... This is my 1,000 post!
