I like the sound of Evergreen. Perhaps the CMUcam is making a comeback, in some way that will allow it to be used all match. Or maybe a longer autonomous period, or even a self selected time for autonomous. That'd be nifty!

Re: Game Hint #2

Someone on my team thought of a sort of "delivery" thing. Having to collect a bunch of things and delivery them. He made this guess based off the first clue (his train of thought was moonfish->shooting the moon->collecting hearts->collecting a bunch of something, craziness)

I think this hint sounds like a delivery.. not sure about the specific places though...

Re: Game Hint #2

Start with our Zamboni on a slippery surface, get some data from Microsoft, pick up a football in MN and play with it in Ohio.

Re: Game Hint #2

You might be thinking of my signature. The quote is a common football/military one.

Re: Game Hint #2

No way! Robotic football! I was dreaming that up years ago! It'd probably be the reason we were given the 50g absorbtion cRio this year all the "gentle bumping" could cause some damage.

not like full on football but similar concepts to football such as force, how rough it could be to a certain degree...like that...such as allowing more leniency in that area

Re: Game Hint #2

oh heres another idea.....
take a look at lines 2,3 and 4 of the hint


stop by and get connected on Central in Phoenix...
drive by and make a pickup on Minnetonka in Minnetonka;
then head to the field on Evergreen in Dover.

okay line look up central drive in phx, AZ and it says "get connected" look at the map its a divided hwy ending a convergence....
then MINNETONKA AVE IN MINNETONKA, MN is a loop leadin to another CONVERGING interstate/hwy
to the field in Dover....
maybe racing is a bigger incorporation this year

racing>cnverge>repeat>home= RELAYS

Re: Game Hint #2

Notice that the use of cities, roads, and states, regardless of which specific cities etc. they were, prompted an incredible number of Google Maps (and other map-sites) searches for a pattern in the cities. Perhaps the clue is simply the fact that they are cities, and that so many people's first reaction is to look for map patterns. Couple that with this logic from hint number one: "moonfish>moon>outer space," and you get something to due with satellites. Maybe it's a far more strategic game than many other people have suggested, involving some kind of coordination with a satellite object to direct attacks on key points of the field, possibly with a RISK-like "global domination" theme.

It's a bit of a stretch, I guess, but it'd be pretty cool in my opinion.
