If you look at the background you can see pictures.

You might have to invert the color in Paint first.

Re: 2007 Official FRC Game Hint / Email Blast

Possibly 5 is the number of rotations a robot must do before/after scoring or to score. Or, and I'm just throwing ideas out here, the number five on the diamond plate disc may mean that there are five areas in which a team/robot can score from and instead of the traditional flooring the "scoring areas" are diamond plated. But this is my first year on a FIRST team so I don't have any great information to base it on.

Re: 2007 Official FRC Game Hint / Email Blast

Hmmm... Here are my thoughts on the matter of the game.

1) I believe there will be 2 platforms, one for each alliance. Each alliance consisting of 3 teams.

2) Each platform has 5 diamond plated "steps" that lead up to a rather large tube. The tube extends from the top of the platform to the bottom.

3) The game piece I feel will be either something made from PVC maybe like a capsule of some sort, or poof balls like Aim High. The game piece will be 2 colors, red and blue.

4) Each capsule dropped through the tube from the top of the platform will be worth 3 points. For each "opposing alliance" game piece is in the tube or in the corner goals are maybe a subtraction of points?

5) The human player is able to load the robots with the game piece. Or even shoot into the tube possibly to score some points or even take away.

6) To score 1 point you need to put the game piece in a different area other than the tube at the top of the platform. Maybe these will be located at the corners of the field?

7) For bonus points at the end is maybe dependant on the placement of robots on the "steps"? Maybe the first step is worth 5 the second 10 the third 15, etc. etc.

8) I can't figure out autonomous mode...

I don't know, I just spewed out some thoughts. I just got a headache from thinking and decided to say what I was thinking.

Can anyone tell me for sure where the whole 'squish meets squash' quote originated, because I'm having some trouble finding information to back it up...
If it has any merit, I think I might have found something possibly (emphasis on the possibly) relevent. On the TV show Numb3rs (which I've never seen) they used something called a squish-squash algorithm which makes me very scared, lest the same concept be used in the game...

Quote:
In the 2005 May 6 episode, "Noisy Edge," lots of folks in Los Angeles see a glowing-white aircraft that doesn't appear on any of seven military or civilian radar tracking systems. Charlie analyses the recorded radar returns with a "squish/squash" noise-reduction algorithm that not only tracks the aircraft their systems could not see but forms a photographic image of the aircraft clear enough [3] to identify who designed it. This is not some outside-the-box mathematical insight: These radar systems are designed by smart electrical engineers for the sole purpose of resolving locations of aircraft, with the best noise-reduction, image-resolving power their smartest engineers can muster. So any squishing and squashing that can see more airplanes would already be built into these sophisticated detection systems.
-Adam N. Rosenberg on his website

Re: 2007 Official FRC Game Hint / Email Blast

I can really tell that this game clue is driving everyone here crazy because 1 year ago today there less then 600 posts in the 2006 Game hint thread and as of right now there are over 720 in this one.

Re: 2007 Official FRC Game Hint / Email Blast

Maybe there is 5 human players this year that have to stand on diamond plated sensors, I don't know why that would be true or for what type of game but I can't wait to find out.

I predict we'll be seeing the GDC wearing powder blue tuxedos and singing this song at kickoff.
Anybody see the four different colored lights in the background of the video?

Twenty-two posts left until this year's thread has more than last year's clue discussion. And we have all day tomorrow yet!

Yea, and there are 4 of them...
Red, Blue. Green and Yellow
Meaning that in different voulmes of each color it can actually create avery colo(u)r, and that Yellow is just used to lighten it up, and spot on a specif person every one and then...


ButTo be honest, it really has nothing to do with the game...i'd bet my Victor 884 on that...

Hey' dont forget the 200 posts after the kick-off that will try to explain what the clue was hinting about in this game...
There still is no good explanation for "5 bots tangling in pasta", and i am not happy with the one saying there are 5 bots playing not including the back bot...cause back bot beeing a backbot plays to, and its very important to collect poofs or whatever...

so...i wanna get till 1000 posts, and the 1000 post, is MINE.
muhahahahahaha

Re: 2007 Official FRC Game Hint / Email Blast

OK!

Here is a concept!

5 circular pools of water with a diamond plate in the middle. Think of a duck tank at the fair Fishing with nets for floating fishes that must be picked up and placed on the center diamond plate for points. Different colored lights will highlight scoring rings or maybe the fishing objects themselves will have lights on them. Pick up the wrong objects, your opponents will score.

Just one more abstract opinion. Come on Saturday!
