Woodie's Game Hint @ Atlanta

[alex1699]

i think autonomous mood shout be at a random time because geribles hop on there wheel at random time and the stock market go up and or down at random times and then a kenex box is realy random (like mine with my game cube in it?) so ya i expect the random this year so ya ha in you face!?!?!?!

I dont think this has to do much withthe game hint but I personally am rooting for the return of some form of cuboid. I know there is no pattern to the games but my gut tells me to expect cuboids.

JMHO, vivek

i think we got to make a robot go thewe tubes so i think something has t odo with tubes

[Rick-906]

What if the game involves tossing some smallish item at a wall covered in little spinning doors, and each door has two colors, your goal being to spin it to your teams color. this would be an interesting to come up with an autonomous mode for.
I'm not too sure how it relates to the hint but i have found past hints to be so incredibly cryptic that they serve more to throw you off then anything.

i base this guess off the fact that a local robotics competition is using something similar... and last year their game also involved tubes... so maybe there is some strange relation

I don't even no where to begin in analyzing this one. Maybe he was... I don't know... just kidding? I guess we'll see.

This might do for 2007

This became the 'official one'. If the link in the first post doesn't work, post #15 shows it. There were at least 2 unofficial threads that discussed possible hints and in those were lots of references to the triangle, square, circle.

It can be an interesting read if you have not seen it.

This looks like it was the 'official 2006' one:

Edit: I posted these links for the purpose of helping our newer members of CD access and read about a couple of the past official hints, not to confuse or interfere with what Pavan started this thread for. If they add confusion, we can ask that they be removed from this thread.

In regards to the first logo idea, I have heard from my coach of a pattern over the years. If there is a pattern next year will be some thing to do with balls

As mentioned in the previous post by Jane, if you search there is a speculation based on the Triangle, Circle, Square logo. To be completely honest, for the last two years we have had circle games and the year before we had a triangle game. But lets leave that to the threads that Jane pointed out, this one is specifically about Woodie's hint during the MorTorq Video.

There is not really a pattern

2007 - circle
2006 - circle
2005 - triangle
2004 - circle
2003 - squares
2002 - circle
2001 - circle
2000 - circle
1999 - circle(not sure)
1998 - circle
1997 - Circle
1996 - Circle
1995 - Circle
1994 - Circle
1993 - Circle
1992 - Circle

Maybe there is a trend...but not a pattern. Next years game will most likely be circles (going on probability). But i still think you will have to stack things on your robot.

IMO....
The gerbils will be FAKE jello. In fact, they will be small, self-sufficient robots. Your autonomous mode must chase them down and crush them. For the game, each robot must build a robot gerbil using nothing but a microSD card, two bendy (oooooh....bennnnnndyyyy...) straws, and a toothpick. and half an omni wheel. And for the top 8 (aka Buzz and whoever they let in with them...), a paper clip. The lift wiil involve balancing a robot in a stack of 47 gerbil robots. the stack must be at least 15 feet high, and no more than three inches wide. Good luck. The balance will have 7 seconds to be completed. May the nerd force be with you.

Dunno why.

Just a feeling.
