Game Hint #1

[Zak698]

after a lil time in gimp, the test is backwards and there is another image of a shrak behind the fish, thus i believe that this is a scanned imaged from a book

What about a moon-shaped hovering disk as a game piece?

You might have gotten that information faster if you had spent the time reading the thread instead of playing with the Gimp. I have the impression that what's on the other page is a channel catfish rather than a shark, but I don't think it's relevant.

(And I might have understood you faster if you typed more slowly and paid closer attention to spelling, but I'll attribute the test/text and shrak/shark to your being excited about the hint.)

Ah heck, I was thinking the shrak was a distant cousin to the shrek. I can't imagine having to reel in a shrek um, shrak.

Nevermind.

What if it is a simple as moon + fish.

Moonbuggy--collecting rocks/transporting things around (look at FLL robots transporting items for survival of people on mars)

Fish---fish have a lateral line which is a series of nervous sensors which pick up vibration in the water for protection or finding food. So robots "sense" things like lights, etc.

in regards to fish anatomy and morphology---they do have swim bladders. the playing pieces could be some type of "balloon"

I don't know if it is irrelevant or not, Dave is quite taken by 'Fish Boy' at the IRI competition, who belongs to team 1094, the Channel Cats!
