Shell game anyone?

Or maybe they're bringing back the pressure plates, in which case students will need healthy feet to run quickly to a loading zone then back to the pressure plate...

Sheesh... I guess I was wrong.
I always thought the turtle rhymed with hurdle... hence the game clue for 2008

Finally we'll get some footballs as game objects. 'Bout time!

Maybe the game pieces will be turtles next year.

or, maybe it will be Overdrive next year except with items(like in MarioKart)

Anybody notice how this image and thread is about scorning obscure game hints? Now look what it has become! Just further proof that Mr. Lavery can strike anywhere, and at anytime.

On another note, I think that a Mario bros. game would be pretty cool. Gotta start coming up with ideas for shell-collecting devices. Also, does this mean we'll have to make robots that jump?

In my opinion, one of the best quotes in CD history is

"Imagine the pressure on Dave Lavery - every time he sneezes someone assumes it's a game hint." - Gary Dillard

The reason is because it's so true.

But seriously, what's more fun than analyzing a game hint?

Poetic justice, too. I think one Andy Grady is the one normally wanting those.

How curious that I happen to be sitting here listening to "Isn't it ironic" by Alanis Morissette right now...

A-choo.

I've got nothing against game hints. Personally, I think the way their devilish difficulties and absolute ambiguity causes some of the brightest minds around to come together and think outside the box is awesome. It's also fun to look back at such hints, and see just how close, or far away, we all really were. Plus, who doesn't enjoy stimulating their brain with a little creativity and (extremely) lateral thinking?

P.S.- Also, what else would we do between the end of championship and the beginning of January? (I mean, besides going to off-season competitions, fundraising, recruiting new members, doing fun build projects, and getting caught up with your (non-robotics) life.)

Clownfish.

Ooh... How about an animal player next year instead of a human player? We'll have to train a dolphin, and have it, instead of the robot, run autonomous...

EDIT: I wonder what training a clownfish is like(or if it even can theoretically be done)... hmmm...
