Re: Game Hint #1

1) Game hints usually revolve around a "game piece" or a "game objective".
2) Game hits usually are obscure, yet their representation to the game piece or objective is very much apparent once the entire game is revealed and more consideration can be input.
3) A Series of game hints never seem to reach a similar conclusion, but seperate parts of the whole FIRST game.
4) Game Hints are never solved until after the revealing of the game.
5) Game hints are what many will call "The Return to Chief Delphi", when many of the robotics fans return from their summer slumber, log back onto the site and prepare for the next season.


Thats all this hint is telling me at the moment.

Re: Game Hint #1

OKay- so I searched out Opah and found a Honolulu fish market

so what if the game has us running around the field picking up rubber fish and tossing them into a basket of some sort. Every so often you come across a Red Herring worth bonus points. If you can catch the biggest fish- the Opah. You get the super bonus. Since the Opah has little dots in a pattern you need to have the camera recognize the pattern...

Or else we all just get slimy?


Whats with all the fish each year and this GDC!!!!

of course the color pattern of this poorly known ocean fish may just appeal to the hint people?

Re: Game Hint #1

It could be a hint referring to some type of aquatic life off the cost of Australia, not necessarily the fish itself. Australia is the only place to have box jellyfish, and box jellyfish are the only jelly fish with the ability to see and move toward their food. Since we are getting cameras this year, the competition could have something to do with finding and locating something using the camera.

or

Opah is a Greek word meaning celebration or challenge. Greeks invented the Olympics which is both a celebration and challenges. Based on the fact that the first Lego league has a series of events (like a decathlon) that you can choose from, and because of time issues, I feel that the competition could be a heptathlon. That and this fish looks like a discus.

Re: Game Hint #1

well as the pic is scanned, presumibly out of a book, perhaps it has something to do with camera recognition? likely shapes -> disks

Don't know if anyone has any avid fishermen around but one of our mentors has mentioned that this is a form of "ribbon fish"...any thoughts?...

Re: Game Hint #1

while many are dismissing the text and shark in the background, the moonfish being a loner and not traveling in schools could indicate a no team free for all, or the shark in the background could indicate some sort of predator prey situation, or it could indicate a 6v0 situation as fish are friends not food.

Re: Game Hint #1

OK I read about 12 pages of this thread and I see no reference to this. As I go thru google images for 'opah' I am finding french maps where sections have OPAH in front of the french words


I do not know what they mean in this context but maybe someone else does?

Re: Game Hint #1

It's obvious. Because the "moon" has lesser gravity, and the fish picture was seen on an Australian seafood website, it's an anti-gravity game. After all, there is less gravity on the moon, and gravity in Australia must be opposite of the U.S. since it's on the opposite side of the planet. I hear autonomous is a time-travel challenge.

In all seriousness, what was the purpose of the fish kite for last year's clue? Is it becoming some sick taunting from FIRST: "What kind of fish do we send them this time?"

Yes I am, the Opah is a DEEP water fish caught in the Pacific with tuna. Its actually caught while fishing for tuna. Being loaners, they are VERY hard to track, locate and catch on their own... No idea how this relates, good job GDC...
