Thumbs up Re: 2007 Official FRC Game Hint / Email Blast

It is about 2 hours to kickoff and im posting this.

Well, last year the hint was:

Quote:
five 'bots tangling with pasta
a game piece obsessed with a shovel's show
and seeing Montana's green heights

Let the Games begin!
Now, one had to refer to each word seperately for one to analyze the meaning, such as "spade" being another word for "shovel", and therefore refering to David Spade's sitcom, "Just Shoot Me." Once this had been analyzed, we knew the second line referred to a game feature that involved shooting an object. (Poof Balls).

That was just an example. How does this relate to this year's clue? Well I decided to analyze the picture and wrote down all the words that came to my head, much like what had to be done last year. They were:
  • Circle
  • Diamond
  • Plate
  • Blue
  • Light
  • Five
  • Black
  • Number

After thinking about it and reading over responses on this forum, I saw that some members mentioned the clues have a history of referring to baseball. So I thought some more, and figured something out. The words "Diamond" (as in Baseball Diamond), "Plate" (as in Home Plate), and Circle (can be interpreted as running around the bases) all refer to baseball in some way, as you can see. So, i decided the game may be played on grass this year instead of carpet. It's also possible that the object of the game may resemble Baseball in some way, possibly having 5 bases instead of 4 (that includes Home).
