2007 Official FRC Game Hint / Email Blast

[skimoose]

Well, we've reached 500 posts and most of you have forgotten that the clue is supposed to lead us to the name of the game as well as hint at how the game is played. So far very few FIRSTers have taken a shot at guessing the name of the game.

I also think that the GDC dropped a few more clues in this thread that you missed. Go back and read who posted what. I don't have all the answers yet, but I'm working on it.

My take on the infamous picture, yes it's a clip from the game animation showing part of the scoring summary. In this case 5 points to the blue alliance. The question I'm still working on, is that a goal (mobil goal?) or a scoring object shown. The blue isn't, I think, a background. I think the view is looking down a blue hued lexan tube with the plate at the bottom of the tube. The concentric rings and other things people are seeing are reflections of what's outside this object, being distorted by the curved lexan. I think I see part of a white field line.

The hockey theme might be something. Is the picture a scoring puck. Is the game name "Power Play"? A power play leaves one team at a numerical disadvantage. Is the game 3 vs. 3 with a back bot again?

Then again if I seeing other clues correctly, the game could be named "Disk Duel"

Just a few thoughts to get people working on the game name. Like I said I'm still working on it..... hmmm The Book of Five Rings.... the fifth book is.... the fifth element is....
