pic: Game Hint GPS on Mars

Looks more like a flooding after a dam break, the amount of water (or whatever liquid it may be) overflowing the riverbank and scouring the surrounding plains. I remember seeing something on Nova about this, but I couldn't find a picture.

Maybe in April if we go to the Finals on Mars I can check this out....

Reminiscence of this thread maybe:http://www.chiefdelphi.com/forums/sh...highlight=mars
Could FIRST be in contact with google?

Also championships will be pretty expensive to go to if it is on Mars; if its still in Atlanta, we have an issue with the playing field.

Maybe the championship (there is no "Nationals") playing field will be on Mars, but all the operator stations will be in Atlanta...

Actually, I believe they are. Two years ago, one (or both, I can't exactly remember) of the cofounders of Google spoke in Atlanta.

Larry Page spoke at the 2005 Championships, and Sergey Brin at the 2006 Championships.

Maybe it is slip and slide.. You don't need tanks, but it had better be water-proof.

Maybe Mars University is sponsoring a team? And Planet Express will be the shipping company.

I did not know Google had a moon application.
Edit: Wait a minute, yes I did. I remember when it first came out, and you zoomed in all the way you saw what looked like green swiss cheese. LOL

Anywho...
A simple text replacement of Art's MARS url gives us nothing but another blank spot on another floating rock in the solar system.
Unless.... you happen to click on the "charts" tab that is, and then you have glorious names of blank spots on another floating rock in the solar system.

look at something really quick with me on this, this cooridinate is surrounded by one thing and one thing only flags, to be more exact american flags from the apollo missions, now did apollo 12, 14, 15 put down flags? because then it would be three to each side, (capture the flag anyone?)

[MiniNerd24]

Hey! That sounds good...and fun! It might not be very challenging if there aren't enough players, but hey, sign me up

[robogeek753]

Hmmmm... CTF, thats interesting. But generally you have to be able to get "out" and release the flag, let the other team bring it back to base etc. How would that work? The robots have to stay on the field the entire time.
