Re: **FIRST EMAIL**/FRC Game Hint #2
if you really want something to just pull at your brain, i've heard that the people who build the fields for kickoff, have said that they have no idea what the game could be, even though they have the field element drawings in addition to these hints.

You know guys, these clues seem fascinating and all but really we should just relax and wait for kickoff.
After 5 years in robotics I have come to realize that these game hints are so ambigious and vague that they can hint at a multitude of complex games when the real game is much simpler. This thread is great for getting those creative juices flowing but y'all should just enjoy the rest of your holiday and rest up for another crazy season. ![]() |

An Atlas ball that needs to be manuevered between two large uprights. Analagous to how the Globe Cafe is between the two obelisks in Copley Square.

Re: **FIRST EMAIL**/FRC Game Hint #2
A 100 LB ball would be ~ 12.5" dia.
Talk about a challenge ... I could see a few crunched robots if one of those things got dropped. |

Karthik, you're lucky you are not eligible to be the human player!

The coordinates could be the site of the John Singleton Copley statue in Copley square and the compass heading the direction in which the statue is facing.
As an MS Excel date and time, 342.242026 is Dec. 7 1900 5:48:31 AM. Other features of Copley Square: Trinity Church The plaza in front of the church The fountain Tortoise and Hare sculpture Boston Marathon Centennial Monument It appears to be an open plaza near the John Hancock Hotel in Boston. An azimuth of 342 would send you approximately parallel with Dartmouth Street. |

Re: **FIRST EMAIL**/FRC Game Hint #2
Has anyone ever considered making the human player into a game piece before?
