Re: Game Hint #1
Fish typically roam the sea in schools, right? How about we go back to the old school 4v0 type of game, where all the robots on the field are out there to make a giant score and not play any defense?

Re: Game Hint #1
This fish is a loner. No schools.

Re: Game Hint #1
Well, you can tell they've photoshopped it somehow from metadata in the FIRST picture that isn't prevalent in the original. Now the real goal is to see if there are a difference if one opens them. Try some different filters and overlay styles (linear burn, etc.).

Re: Game Hint #1
QFT. But, that doesn't mean it can't represent no alliances. Last few years, the game has been alliance-based.
alliances -> fish schools |

Re: Game Hint #1
Either that or they're calling us all big fish...I mean...they are using a small fish to bait us.

Awesome find!! We can rule out that someone at FIRST scanned it in. Quote:

Re: Game Hint #1
Based on the http://www.absoluteastronomy.com/topics/Lancetfish
I believe the hint is the heading "Morphology" And thanks to wikipedia, here are some definitions: # Morphology (linguistics), the study of the structure and content of word forms # Morphology (biology), the study of the form or shape of an organism or part thereof # Morphology (astronomy), the shape of astronomical objects such as nebulae, galaxies, or other extended objects # Morphology (folkloristics), the structure of narratives such as folk tales # Geomorphology, the study of landforms # Mathematical morphology, a theoretical model based on lattice theory, used for digital image processing # River morphology, the field of science dealing with changes of river planform # Morphological analysis, a general method for non-quantified modelling |

On a related note, I am still thinking this is just a sick, sick joke by Mr Lavery to make us all crazy. But, I will bite, someone earlier mentioned that the Opah engage in "vertical migrations from the deep up the slopes of seamounts in search of food. Opah are taken on longline gear year-round, but landings seem to peak in April-August." Based upon this information, we will have to climb something, be it ramp or step or even bars, to retrieve the game pieces. Based on the fact that the migrations appear to peak during months that we are not competing there will most likely be a smattering of game pieces on the ground as well but the upper ones will be worth more points. There you go GDC, I hope you are enjoying this feeding frenzy. |

Re: Game Hint #1
Game hints are really just a conspiracy for the GDC 'alpha test' last-minute ideas that are 'guessed at' by the community.
Here's my take ambiguous guess that HAS to be right because it covers almost every possibility: Fish are slippery. That means either the ground or the game piece will be hard to grasp/navigate/contend with unless you have a non-standard robot setup. |

Re: Game Hint #1
Since this is a deep water fish where very little light will reach, maybe our robots will have to operating in an environment with little or no visible light.

Re: Game Hint #1
A friend of mine suggested that it may have to do with how fish swim, moving side to side. Maybe articulated drivetrains will be advantageous...

They are most certainly NOT the same size.
