Re: Game Hint #1
I think it is definitely some sort of odd surface, like a lunar bumpy surface or a tilting ramp, or multi platforms!!
also i agree with the no prebuild!!! |

Re: Game Hint #1
You're not the only one...
And I wouldn't know if the "600,000" speech was last year, because frankly, I doze in-and-out of the speech sections every year. ![]() |

Re: Game Hint #1
My serious thoughts: Moon fish is an allusion to the playing field being somewhat lunar; rocks, craters, etc... (Not real, of course, but some sort of wood/PVC concoctions). I can imagine TPTB wanting to give the game some sort of potential real world application (or would lunar exploration be out-of-this-world?) Additionally, after years of building drivetrains, we're all pretty comfortable with throwing one together that functions on level ground. They're mixing things up with the cRIO instead of the IFI this year, so who's to say that they're not contimuing this trend?
My optimistic, yet completely unrealistic thoughts: "Opah" is a homonym of "Opa!". This year's challenge will involve flaming cheese. |

I'm guessing the take away here is either the word moon or fish. I think we can toss the fish part as Dave's way of having fun with us and safely say focus on the moon. That's just my $.02. Andy |

Re: Game Hint #1
Sorry, my brain is completely fried.
During one of the kickoffs, there was an interesting speech about how a typical FIRST season requires about 600,000 hours of thought, not one of which will be spent on pop culture drivel. I was trying to estimate the brain-hours spent on marine biology so far. Again, none of these hours were spent on pop culture drivel. Nothing to see here, dead brain walking, move along... |

Re: Game Hint #1
all these fish clues = icthyology
icthyology sounds like "icky" maybe that truly describes what we are headed for.... Of course the fish clues might point to the continuing destruction of the world's oceans and reflect a need for conservation and preservation of the polar ice caps At least one thing we can say for FIRST is that it got a bunch of robonerds to learn something about obscure fish species on a large scale. OK- I'm fin'ished Last edited by Wayne C. : 05-12-2008 at 18:24. |

Dave is the one who usually mentions Paris Hilton but he usually doesn't post in the hint thread. So, if he doesn't post, that lowers the chances of the mention of Ms. Hilton or the other one. Which is a good thing. I'd rather talk about the 600,000 hours of thought/brain power...even fried brain power. Rock on, Eric. Mr. C - even I couldn't make puns that bad. Really.

Re: Game Hint #1
Has anybody ever thought to look at this page...
http://www.sciencedirect.com/science...96d5f5a3b3b64f It talks about the Opah, the name of the fish, being an engineering software for small hydropower plants... |

Personally I think the moonfish is a reference that there will be multiple levels. Moon is high in the sky Fish dive deep into the ocean Another reason for my belief is that they were touting the shock rating of the cRIO when they were introducing it. |

Re: Game Hint #1
The picture was obviously scaned from a book, that expains the backwards text and the shadows in the background. As of what i know, the text is just a description of the opah, because it is just a book. If you wanted to get technical, you could find the book they scanned it from, which would be pointless.

After looking at the moon fish on this page I saw that it said 30-50 kgs might mean 30-50lbs or lead to some wieght. |
