Re: 2010 Game Hint #2
You guys do know that back before 1999, the game was 1v1v1, right? Except in elims, when it was 1v1. The reason for 2v2 was something to the effect of, "Collusion is happening, whether or not it is intentional. Seeing as it cannot be prevented, it shall henceforth be required." Tetraman is right on on that part.

Re: 2010 Game Hint #2
"Maby the clue is in it. Like, not exactly something, like how last year was the Moonfish, but it wasnt a moonfish, it was the Moon, lunar, whatever.
Mabey, it has something to do with the enterance gate. Like something we have to open or something" Some one said this on facebook, and I'm not quite ready to wade through to 17 pages of thread to see if they posted it here. I do like the idea though. They're right about the fish. |

I'd be unhappy with a 2v2v2 game unless there were offense and defense governing rules. So... why is there a 3rd gate? What if the field is in 3 sections? |

Re: 2010 Game Hint #2
I have a sneaking suspicion that several of these clues are building together to point towards two separate conclusions.
#1 The Morse code business (telegraph stuff) is more likely pointing towards the emphasized use of communications in 2010. Combine this with the new integration of laptops at the driver station and it might just be likely that the drivers are physically separated from the robots this year. Having to use the laptops + on board cameras to navigate their now UAV's remotely. #2 The combination of the first clue (field element- configurable ball track) and the second clue point to increased open field space with ball carrying field elements at either end potentially staffed by human players. This means robots will more than likely have to have ball pickup and handling capabilities. My $0.02 |

Re: 2010 Game Hint #2
Well you know how the GDC likes to give us obstacles to overcome. We are back to carpet and maybe this year instead of lunar gravity we will have Jupiter's gravity which is 2.3 to earth 1. Our wheels this year will be of velcro so that they adhere to the carpet and slow us down. No high speed ramming but deadly pushing matches.
Rumor: we will go back to the proper way of choosing alliances not like the last few years. |

Rumor #2: Canadians don't know what the proper way to choose alliances is. (Who cares who 1114 and 2056's third partner is? They're still going to win!)
I'm still thinking parallel and possible tipping game elements |

Re: 2010 Game Hint #2
Overdrive was dumb, and it lacked creativity. I mean come on NASCAR? I understand that the silly sport is really helpful in the design and technology of new cars, including efficiency and aerodynamics, but i almost died of shame that First couldn't come up with a more creative game.

I think its kinda lame that you're bashing them like that. I've been on a GDC for a mentor challenge. Every once in a while you get an outstanding game idea and refine it till it's fantastic. But if that doesn't happen, its INCREDIBLY HARD to make up a new game to play. +$.02 |

Re: 2010 Game Hint #2
[quote=Karibou;893813]Not quite. Maize Craze was played on corn, if Wikipedia is indeed correct (and I trust the FIRST community to keep it as such). I think that there were a few other playing surfaces too, but as I have little knowledge of past games, I don't know which ones they were. Weren't the ramps for 2007 diamond-plate?
entrance ramps are the same but the ramps that count were actual robots |
