Re: **FIRST EMAIL**/FRC Game Hint #2

Sorry it took so long to reply back. I think it is a lamppost because of these pictures.

this shows the obelisks, and where the coordinates point behind them, there is not statue. A lamppost is visible, though.

Also, the wikipedia picture of the statue:

shows tree cover and grass nearby, which is not near the coordinates on Google earth.

Even if we are looking into the clue too far, and the coordinates are the clue, I fon't think that's a necessarily bad thing. The clue's primary purpose is to get FIRST participants excited about the game. At least we're having fun, right?

By the way, attached is the view that I think makes it look like a lamppost:
(notice the four white round objects, which I think are globes for the lights)

I may be completely wrong, but that's why we're discussing it on the forum.
