Go to Post Spouting off without all of the facts is a bad idea. It's also bad to envoke the gods of "Gracious Professionalism" to judge others. - Rich Kressly [more]

Talking Re: Game Hint #2

As most of you may have done already, I looked up these locations on google maps.

Paramount to Central in Phoenix-
This is the shortest distance of them all, so will be worth the least amount of points. My guess as we will get some points for just "Driving out of the shop" Meaning getting out of the starting gate(Maybe some obsticle, because there are mountains around Colorado??). Get connected makes me think of it ending autonomous mode.

Phoenix to Minnetonka-
This is quite a long distance, so will be worth more points completing it. Since we'll be going through the mountain range, there will be 2 choices. Either go over a significant obstacle(if not used in 1st part) or, go under or through them(idea for camera!!)Then, when we reach "Minnetonka" our robot must grab something(maybe different sizes/shapes for a difference in points)

Minnetonka to Dover
Now, there are 2 Dovers. There is one in MA and one in Dover, Kent, UK.

MA Dover-
It is possible that we will need to navigate a "Mountainous" type area as above, this time with our object. Failing to get our object over will result in a loss of points. Again, go over or under your choice. This is where strategy would come in, if you chose something too big or odd shaped, it's possible you wouldn't be able to go under and/or over.

Dover, Kent, UK
This one stumps me a bit, but, for the crazys out there (Dave). We have to get our object over a large body of water.(will add more as I think of it)






This also conforms with all the "4's" popping up.

1. Autonomous Mode
2. Going over mountainous area
3. Getting Item
4. Going over mountainous are with item
