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)

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

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)

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

For the 2008 Hint 2 you could also get the game pice out of it because Blip Toys' address is
15255 Minnetonka Blvd.
Minnetonka, MN 55345

Just thought I'd Point that out.

Those are the same hints that I have (hand)written down in my notebook. Also the same hints that are archived in our team's forum, which are directly copy/pasted from the FIRST emails.

It did indeed point to a Zamboni factory. Also, Blip, the manufacturer of the Orbit Balls, is based out of Minnetonka (on Minnetonka Blvd).
