Game Hints & Animatino of Years Past

[jamie_1930]

Does anyone know where I can find the Game Hints and Animations from past years. I'm compiling an archive of past game animations and game hints so I can better analyze the game hints this year.

Right now I have:
- Game Animations 2003 - 2009
- Game Hint 2010 #1

[James Tonthat]

2009 Clue # 1 is attached (significance was moonfish, theme of the game)

2009 Clue # 2 (Gave directions to the Zamboni factory, if I remember correctly)

Good Morning Teams,

Take your machine out of the shop on Colorado in
Paramount;
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.

23 Days until Kickoff
See you then


I'll edit with 2008's

Edit:

2008 Hint #1
I actually don't know if I have this on archive, but I think it's the IR board. This was the hybrid mode that took place of autonomous.

2008 Hint #2 (this was the GPS coordinates of Copley Square, where in the middle was a tortoise and a hare, a race.)

"Greetings Teams:
42.349905
-71.076072
342.242026

Happy Holidays and GO TEAMS!"

2008 Hint # 3 (This was a word scramble, I forgot what it spelled.)

"FRC Game Hint #3
Vet hurdling FIRST tetra"

Edit 2:
Drive straight turn left (correct spelling of the anagram)

Drive Straight Turn Left

The Manual password was something like "Drive!?Straight!!Turn?Left!"
I forget what it actually was.

Game animations of 2003 - 2009 are all on YouTube.

2003 2004 2005 2006 2007 2008 2009

If you can find 2007's. I think there was a clue with a ringer in it as well as a spider leg, that would be the most interesting to me. But then again, I didn't do FRC that year.

Edit:

VV Thanks Dave.

Huh, funny you should ask. I just uploaded full res versions of the game animations for 2003 through 2009 to YouTube yesterday. These are all uploaded from first-generation source files, and not copies from the broadcasts. They can be found here:

- 2009- Lunacy

- 2008 - Overdrive

- 2007 - Rack N Roll

- 2006 - Aim High

- 2005 - Triple Play

- 2004 - FIRST Frenzy- (low-res version only, higher res version will be uploaded later when I get around to it)

- 2003 - Stack Attack

Very cool. Thanks!

Is linking to these YouTube videos on our website legal by FIRST copyright standards?

I read somewhere that we could also write "Used with permission of FIRST, NASA, and Havabanana Productions. (c) YEAR." Is this true?

I said that those are the ones I have if anyone has earlier animations that would be nice, but the last one I'm looking for is from 2010

Thanks does anyone else have them from the actual hints, not to offend but I don't want to hear "this is from memory"

It might not be rendered, but it definitely is rendering. How else would Dave be keeping his house warm?

There are no earlier versions. 2003 was the first year that the game was introduced with an animation.

The actual quote text is not from memory. The only one I have a doubt about is the interpretation of the second quote, not the second quote. Also I was right about the IR board, that was the 2008 Game hint #1

On the other hand, those game animations bring back good memories.

Edit (to recap)

2009 Hint 1: (Meaning: game theme, lunar)
Moon Fish Picture (see attachment above)

2009 Hint 2: (Meaning: Zamboni, ice game; Trailer)
Good Morning Teams,

Take your machine out of the shop on Colorado in
Paramount;
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.

2008 Hint 1: (Meaning: Hybrid Mode)
IR Board

2008 Hint 2: (Meaning: Race)
Greetings Teams:
42.349905
-71.076072
342.242026

Happy Holidays and GO TEAMS

2008 Hint 3: (Meaning: Drive straight, turn left)

FRC Game Hint #3
Vet hurdling FIRST tetra

I really could just tell you to use the search, I definitely did that to dig these up.
