Re: Game Hint #2
Guys, I figured it out. Minnetonka -> Minnetonka Lake -> water game.
So it's clearly a water game. |

And the HDPE thing is definitely possible... especially since you mention ramps, I'm still hooked on the idea of different "levels". |

Ice game. Hence the HDPE in my last post--that's commonly used as fake ice. Oh and there's worse. Much worse... Dave posted this a while back. 'Nuff said. |

Re: Game Hint #2
maybe the moon fish and the "Good Morning Teams" could go together, as to say you start out with a dark playing field or start out having to use the camera for sight and then move on to a brighter field or be able to see without use of the camera.
I like the idea of an "ice game" but I the only problem that I see is how they would keep the ice frozen and then all of the competitions would have to have a zamboni, if traction wheels can go through carpet I think they can probly go through ice... |

Re: Game Hint #2
I'm thinking that the "Good morning teams" is not part of the hint. If you look at all his posts, they either start out that way or start with "Good afternoon teams".

I also apologize for this useless post so I will toss some speculation. Picture a combination of 2003 and 2004, multiple levels on the playing field using a slippery substance as the ramps (HPDE as Eric suggests) This was pulled from the moonfish's vertical migrations (Hanging please?) and the same place as Eric's HPDE comment. Now back to watching us skew google results. What if some company just hired FIRST to do SEO for them? |

Re: Game Hint #2
Connection On Central in Phoenix:
There is a N Central Ave and S Central Ave in Phoenix AZ. Maybe something of interest where they connect? |

Re: Game Hint #2
My first thoughts, not published on the Hint #1 thread was why did FIRST look for a picture of a "moon fish". We know they have thrown NASA challenges at us before. I therefore speculated it was having to do with the moon, perhaps the search for water ice for a sustained based. But harvesting 'water ice' would not make an exciting game. What else would NASA want to do on the moon with robots?
After Hint 2, I am expecting a construction challenge. Robots may have to work together to assemble something and then rush home for bonuses. Now I am stretching further to see what the game might be... Some robots may have to assemble a goal while one or more others gather the scoring elements. If the scoring elements are in the assembled goal and the robots are back in their starting base, there are bonuses. Would be interest... |

Re: Game Hint #2
What I saw on Minnetonka in Minnetonka: A bunch of parks, about half of which had athletic fields (pickup game, or pickup from a game) and one of which had some form of dome; a bunch of lakes and ponds (pond hockey--another "pickup"), and a marina or so. This using Google Maps.
Final analysis (for now): sports-based game, most closely related to hockey. There will be HDPE or Lexan on the field, on a raised element. You don't have to be on the raised element to score, but you will need to keep moving (fish and format of the last clue). And don't damage the field! |

Re: Game Hint #2
I really hate jumping in without finishing the thought process, but I just can't help myself.
OK, from clue #1. An Opah, a gift that is given away. From clue #2. During Autonomous, the package (the gift) can be picked up. It will then be "connected", passed off, via Microsoft in Phoenix, through a window or "Windows". The rest I am still working out. This same sequence above can continue during tele-op, but bonuses are applied during autonomous. Keep working on this........ I feel like I am rambling a bit here. |
