Woodie's Game Hint @ Atlanta

[EStokely]

I can't explain it but I am ready for this year (I am usually dreading it a bit at this point)

So here I am reading game rumors.

BTW I heard from a source that there was a large truck near FIRST with footballs in it......

[Beta Version]

Well, if we go along with the ever popular Box, Triangle, Circle theory that the game pieces cycle through the three different shapes in the FIRST logo (which is startlingly true), we are due for some boxes.

[Blue_2220]

Well my team 2220 Blue Twilight is very suspicious of woodies hint we don't know what to think I have heard some good ideas but we don't know where to start, its even worse then last years hint but I am sure it will all make sense when the regionals come

Start guessing guys!

i personally think that this hint just means that we will be using a square as a game piece. stock market, the building is a square. jello, are cut into squares. gerbil cages are squares, and K'nex blocks are squares too.

What the heck, K'nex don't have blocks, do they?

[vivek16]

maybe they make blocks out of knex peices?

Maybe Dave hasn't been speaking much cause his mouth full of dounuts?

I guess it is time for Woodie to start having a little fun with us, messing with our minds.

[synth3tk]

I don't care if the President held a State of the Union addressing what the game might be, I need something to feed my crave now!!!

[vivek16]

hmm... maybe if we offer dave donuts he will put us out of our misery(give us a hint dave... not kill us... lol.. not really... its wayy past my bedtime... im sleeping now...)

I was thinking the same thing. I wonder if it was just his way of identifying the Kinex toys, as in, the pieces are a form of the generic "building blocks" concept?

After all, what else would you call them?

Kinex sticks?

I'm giving my team a head start with what I know about jello. I'll share it here after they have had a few days to mull it over.

Hint you have to be old to remember this bit of trivia.

I think what I have to share will shake things up. Maybe Woody wasn't expecting someone my age to be pondering his clues.

To be honest I hate these threads before the game hint is released but I thought it would be a good laugh to see some of you guys' responses so I started this. Many of you are just saying the first thing that pops into your mind. THIS is one of the ONLY plausible interpretations so far in this thread IMO.

yeah.... or we could spend every waking moment analyzing this phrase until we get something from it like: robots will carry donuts made of jello or the like

-vivek

p.s. yeah I think that the cuboid theory is the most plausible.

My guess is there will be some sort of rotating table on the field. If the table is spun one way it will add points to the red teams the other will add points to the blue team.

This idea was kinda used in MIT's 2.007 2003 competition:

Keeping an eye on the stock market...

Jello is down (See Chart)

K'Nex is a privately traded company, and gerbils aren't sold by one individual company, so they don't have a stock.

Thing aren't looking good for next years game.
