Re: **FIRST EMAIL**/FRC Game Hint #3

Even though there is only two days left and we won't ever know until kickoff I figure I'll throw my guess into the mix.

1. At either end of the field there will be a "field goal" like setup with a net to catch balls shot into it by robots (a la Aim High)

--RATIONALE--

Clue #2, The coordinates point to copley squeare, the bearing between two obelisks (the field goal posts) and then to the Globe Cafe

2. At each corner of the field there will be a bin for depositing square blocks (possilbly shaped like K'NEX bricks).

--RATIONALE--

Clue #2 again, Copley Square and the other numerous references to other games involving boxes, too numerous to list (Stack Attack etc.)

3. An end game autonomous that has 3, possibly 4 of the center goals from Triple Play and IR emitters on each one. At the end of teleoperated , the IR of the goal that will actually count will start emmitting (tetra could be picked up prior to endgame) and if a robot gets the tetra on that goal, major bonus points.

--RATIONALE--

Clue #1, well we have to use that IR board for something, just because it has four channels doesn't mean we use them all.
Clue #3, I agree that it could mean vet teams having to finally beat the triple play challenge (man I hated that game) and I also like the idea of a single "bonus" tetra.

4. 2v2 play again

--RATIONALE--

Dave's signature, for the two, this season is for you. I believe this could refer to the past games where it was 2v2 play.

5. Periods in which certain game pieces can be scored will be indicated by solid or flashing red/blue lights (Aim High only one team can score periods maybe?).

--RATIONALE--

Clue 2 Hancock Tower reference.


99.9% chance I'm totally wrong, .01% chance that any part(s) is right. Guess we'll know on Saturday. (must... go... to... sleep.. but.... too... excited..)
