Re: [BB] 2010 Game Hint #1
How's this for the size? Ah, the mocking-up skills you learn as a FRC team member. Cardboard (or this case, printer paper) is a wonderful thing. Anyone else want to to a better job?

Re: [BB] 2010 Game Hint #1
I already posted this in the other thread, but hey here we go.
I say they are lasers, and you have targets you have to shoot. The field is foggy too. There are some safety issues involved, but hey I can dream right? |

Re: [BB] 2010 Game Hint #1
So who is going to start looking at game hint suggestion threads from years past to see where this could fit?

Re: [BB] 2010 Game Hint #1
Come on guys and girls, it's one of those fancy camera mounts.
... For those of you who are actually pulling their hair out over this game hint, please don't take me seriously. I just had to say something. |

Re: [BB] 2010 Game Hint #1
I think the holes in the big pipe are merely access points for the nuts on the polycarb-to-pipe bolts.
I like the ball track idea, but I see a problem with the pins. They seem to stick out farther than the thickness of the big pipe, so they would interfere with a ball riding the rails. Another note on those pins. What are the white spots? My thoughts are either those spring balls thingers or holes for cotter pins. I can't decide if the big pipe slides up and down the smaller one, but I'm more inclined to say it doesn't. The tab thing on the polycarb stumps me. |

Re: [BB] 2010 Game Hint #1
hm...interesting that they seem to have given us a tangible design as opposed to something more...cerebral.
Last year was a fish, where we had to deduce that the field would be slippery. Now we're being given what seems to be a field element. Just interesting. Unless it's not a field element, and it's supposed to somehow get us to think of an aspect that the game will have...like, interlocking, for example. No idea. |

Re: [BB] 2010 Game Hint #1
Is anyone good at image encryption/decryption? Might be something hidden in there which would go with the whole "nothing is as it seems" hint brought up earlier...

Re: [BB] 2010 Game Hint #1
While I like the idea of the 'bowling alley return' structure, I don't see why lexan was used. Surely there are other materials laying around HQ that are ligher and *cheaper* for that purpose. Lexan would be used so people need to see through it; I struggle to reason why a support piece like this would need to be transparent.
I can't help but be reminded of the 2007 hint. |

Re: [BB] 2010 Game Hint #1
maybe instead of thinking left and right, we should think of and down. What if this is part of a conveyor system that moves over a wall or something. Robots would score by putting the game piece on it and it would get higher and higher, or something.

Re: [BB] 2010 Game Hint #1
OK upon looking closer at this, I think we all saw the holes and assumed it was the "adjustable pin and hole" setup. I don't think this is the case. I think the holes you see in the rod is merely an access hole so you can attach the lexan. I think the posts that are sticking out are just stoppers to prevent the lexan assembly from sliding too far.
What does that mean? I have no idea. I still stand by the fact that it seems too small and weak to be a robot interaction element. |

The "access holes" you talk about is for recessing the nut of the bolt, so whatever slides/rolls on the track (yes, I still think it's a track) won't get hit. Also, I don't believe that the lexan assembly slides on the small tube for the reason that it can't; there are no slots cut in the small tube that would be necessary to clear the bolt attaching the lexan to the big tube. |

Re: [BB] 2010 Game Hint #1
I'm going to guess it's an autoloader, tilted on its side, for some game piece. It just looks like the lexan is designed to seat things. Of course, it could also be a goal... but the lexan and bars just make me think of stacking something "tetra like" on it.
Now if you'll excuse me, I have to read every $@#$@#$@#$@# page of this thread just to see what you guys are all thinking... Last edited by Chris is me : 24-12-2009 at 15:24. |

I've tested that, and Inventor wont refract the reflection like that. Its very odd. Because it IS lexan, its clear you can see the upper pole through it. Like i said before, its most likely a cad model of the whole field. They moved the background just below that part to cut anything out. The reflection most definitely reminds me of the 2007 game hint. If you looked close enough, you could see the spider legs through the inner tube |
