2010 Game Hint #2

[RoboMaster]

I honestly don't get much out of this hint. But here's what I think (i know some of this has already been said)

-Obviously it is of the field. Nice little entrance gate there. People have said it's wider, but that doesn't give much information.
-The yellow things seemed to be the center of attention, but then it was said that these are really trip-protection mats, so that's not much.
-We've got carpet, or at least what looks like carpet, it's a little gray. But like the regolith, if there was some new field surface they would probably put it on top of the carpet inside the field.

Here's what I think is interesting:
-The yellow mats are covering up two angled brackets on each side of the gate. These seem to be for support so that the wall doesn't fall over if a robot rams into it. Normally there is just one next to the gate because on the other one side there is the driver station wall and on the other side is the middle where there are more brackets. So are they there to give more support to the possibly weak gate just be cause FIRST wants to be more safe? People have said that this gate seems to be in the middle, so that would give reason to put brackets on each side. But that would mean there are less gates on the field, which I don't think will happen. FIRST wants the matches to reset quickly. So this might mean a different field shape. Someone else has said that the field sections are very modular, so that would probably work. I think that's the best possibility; or at least that the field is re-arranged.
-You can't see the driver station wall from here. Now, that might be because they just blocked it out of the picture, or the field is re-arranged and it can't be seen. I think it is possible not to see the driver station wall even if either of these weren't the case. If it was connected to the upper right field wall instead of the lower left, then it would work. But again, why is the bracket needed?
-Game hint 1 is nowhere to be seen. No other field structures are to be seen. Again, not much there because they might have blocked it out or this is just a section with nothing important like that.
-That bolt attached to the left side of the gate, sticking outwards. Can someone tell me what this is? I'm sure it's just a usual piece of the field, but it's been staring me in the face and I think it might be significant.

Other than that, and to sum up, this is still a ton of speculation with multiple weak possibilities. But that's what a game hint is, so what can you expect. Happy guessing!
