Okay... I zoomed out to try to clear some words out. Here's what I think I can make up:

body, covered, deeply forked, dorsal fin, bellied

I Googled all of those together, but couldn't find any exact matches. Of course a lot about fish (dorsal fin).

Re: Game Hint #1

You know, I think that we are just over analyzing this hint. If I remember correctly, once we find out the game, we have to reanalyze the hint again in order to find out what it meant, which usually ends up being a random fact of the game. (i.e. the GPS coordinates last year)

Re: Game Hint #1

In the background of the picture in the text i saw the word body and someone earlier said something about opah dealing with the number 4
This might mean that there needs to be a body with four somethings attached to it and these four "components" to pick something up

Moonfish

Round game piece, it may move on it's own (wriggle like a fish), and there will be light involved.

Think of it this way: The more we analyze it now, the closer we could be to actually knowing what it meant later. As in, we may have guessed it and won't know until after Kick-Off...

Re: Game Hint #1

The sites, and for that matter also the fish, are Australian. Perhaps there's a connection to "down under"... maybe the number of spots (like the dots on the fish) on the bottom of a game piece will tell us how many points it can score.


Maybe the deep water fish means we aren't allowed to touch the floor.

Not being allowed to touch the floor? I don't think the GDC would be that cruel...

Re: Game Hint #1

"It is currently being used as the first game hint for the 2009 FIRST Robotics Competition season"

this was added to the Opah page on wikipedia at 2:07, while this thread was started at 3:13. when was the hint posted


not that this is at all relevant, I'm sure.

and i could be making a mistake on the times, as well.
