Re: Game Hint #1

Ok So... i just spent two hours reading all 50 some odd pages of this hint and i wanted to propose some ideas:
1.FTC is getting a revamp.
2.FIRST is really into this whole progression from FLL to FTC to FRC so are looking for ways to make them similar.
3.This year FLL was almost all about delivering objects or picking them up and moving them only one thing required activation an all time low.
4.FTC also is all about a lot of objects that need to be collected and delivered.
5.Last year FRC set a record for fewest field elements.

What i thing this means is that we will be seeing a reinstatement of the Aim High kind of game with many game pieces to be processed efficently and then when you take into account the HINT #1 it makes it look like we will be fishing for something. and when you search moonfish you find the picture at a commercial fishing site who process large numbers of fish. I am trying to draw conclusions from things other than game hints because FIRST has a tendency to try to improve on the year before, usually from the perspective of the onlooker. So this might mean making all three tournaments more alike which so far this year they have done with FLL and FTC.

P.S.
Terrain has been present for the first time in two years for FLL and the first time ever in FTC so teams may want to think about 4x4 Robots
