Re: Game Hint #1

I don't know if anyone did it before, but I made the image darker to see what's hiding in the background. Does it tell anything to anyone?

I'm not sure what all the things people have done to this picture are. It's been reversed, had its colors changed, and many other things. All right here in this thread.

Re: Game Hint #1

Personally, I really don't think there is anything encrypted in the image, especially something that needs a password. If there is, that's probably not the clue.

The hint should be something that all FIRSTers can use, not just ones with certain skills or software. If there was something "hidden" it would be something that could be easily deciphered. The hints in the past have all been relatively straight forward, at least to the point where everyone had a shot at them.

So, most likely the hint is something about the fish itself. We seem to have recovered all information about the fish, now we have to use it.

Re: Game Hint #1

I think it might actually be a water game, because I was talking to someone in the Arizona Regional and I asked her what the 2009 game would be, and she is like a water game, where the robots swim around. But then again, this can be just to throw us off.

Re: Game Hint #1

I posted before that i think the game will be called "Shoot for the Moon" because I think that the camera will have to track a large white circular light. However, it struck me that using a white light may not work because the venue lighting could interfere. I'm not sure if this is true but I'd be interested to hear someones opinion. Also, the moon has a light and a dark side. This could be further evidence for a split field like the 2001 game. This could also have something to do with the camera.

You want to pay for swimming pools big enough for six robots at every regional?

Underwater FIRST games aren't going to happen. It's too expensive, and too complex.

Michael Phelps?

lol

but seriously:

a water game is unlikely, unless we are playing at natatoriums.
