How does the second game hint apply?

[Ross340]

I'm still stumped. Anyone know for sure?

Pleas use the search feature of Chief Delphi. That question has been answered about 4-5 times already...

3. Hint three was an anagram for "Drive Straight Turn Left", which not only describes what the robots do in this year's game, but with added punctuation is the manual decryption key of "Drive!Straight?Turn!LEFT!?" Hint three also contained the word "hurdling", which is one of the ways score this year. It can't spell "infrared sensor" -- there aren't enough "n"s, "s"s, "o"s or "r"s.

Actually, according to both Dave and Woodie, the coordinates and heading refer to the Tortoise and the Hare in Copley Square. Its at the bottom of your link.

Well it pointed to those two towers that had huge weights in the top. Your lifting mechanism with ball will be similar to those towers! (minus the railroad ties in them)

I'm glad to see there are 3 DEFINITIVE answers, lol
