Re: 2007 Official FRC Game Hint / Email Blast
That is most definatly a clue towards bananas. The question is did he do it to mess with us. Or does it really have something to do with the game.

If someone can answer that question, I will personally make them a chrome crown with little nuts in place of gems to commemorate their status as my official Hero.

banana turn (n)
a wide arc a batter makes when approaching first base after hitting a base hit to the outfield. |

That's it! Such a great connection between fruit and an obscure fruit reference...I love it. It's just crazy enough to be from the GDC.

Re: 2007 Official FRC Game Hint / Email Blast
perhaps the diamond plate represents part of the field and the 5 is the different places that it occurs, center and corners are most probable

Further speculation can be made from the song titles on this page: http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm...dID=823 27097 "Take 5" - Obvious Link "Blue Rondo A La Turk" - I don't speak any other languages than English, but Blue and (if Rondo = round) is kind of a dead on match to the hint pic. (Anyone wanna translate that song title btw?) "Pick Up Sticks" - Am I reminded about all the speculation about last year and the majorette sticks??? I'm thinking less Bananas and more sticks... or at least sticks in curved shapes if we want to stay with the banana clue. (Boomerangs as game objects anyone?) As for me, I'm changing my song on my Myspace from Europe's Final Countdown to Take 5 by this band. <And crossing my fingers that Boomerangs are easy things to get ahold of in America in the middle of January> ![]() |

Re: 2007 Official FRC Game Hint / Email Blast
The clues have also been related to sports, and with all the stop and go, the banana turn, the diamond, the 5 sided home plate, the layout of the 5 of diamonds, and etc, I wouldn't be surprised to see a baseball inspired game. The rings also make sense, or maybe its a human gyroscope?
Clueless, myself. |

There is, I think, only one rule on the hint: It must refer to the game somehow, but in such a way that nobody gets it. |

Re: 2007 Official FRC Game Hint / Email Blast
Since there haven't been many fish biting the bait lately, I'll try to fish out a clue.
While at the DMV earlier today, I was watching one of those scrolling LED marquees that had random facts on it. And as you can guess, random facts about none other than bananas came up. ![]() A group of 10-20 bananas is called a "hand" by the banana growers, and each of the bananas a "finger". A human hand has five fingers. Also, bananas are picked while they are still green, so that they turn yellow just as they reach store shelves. Or if you really want some good sleuthing, one of the street names for a $5 bill is a 'fin'. Both the banana and fish appeared in Dave's 2007 game hint picture. ![]() Just playing along. ;-) |

Re: 2007 Official FRC Game Hint / Email Blast
Perhaps, the 5 is related to the musical group "Five for Fighting", whose 2006 album was titled "Two Lights"?
Could it be that there will be 5 robots, playing against each other? Could it be that there will be 2 stop lights, 3 colors that control when you can stop or go? I expect that the diamond plate is refering to diamond plate pattern, but it might not be metal - this pattern is also available in 4x4 rubber mats that interconnect to create a rubber floor. It's used for protection against dropped weights when weight lifting. It comes in red and blue, and can be found at www.ivanko.com, or then again, it could be aluminum like the ramp was last year. The disc/round shape is obviously NOT a disc at all, the top is flat where it connects to something. It could be either a flat platform or a ramped platform. I wonder if the 5 is the # of points for getting on this elevated almost round platform. Maybe there are other platforms with others #'s - 4, 3, 2, 1. The blue color surrounding the platform would give one the impression of being liquid, but it is only the "perception" that it is water - it isn't really water. The game piece probably has something to do with water - something from water, or something for the water. That's my guesses, excellent clue, as it leaves alot to the imagination. I'm okay now to wait and see. Last edited by meaubry : 27-12-2006 at 15:44. |

Re: 2007 Official FRC Game Hint / Email Blast
Could this clue possibly hint to five robots on the blue alliance? Just a theory
