2011 Game Hint #1

[Zach O]

Someplace always good to look is important events this year. For the past few years they've taken things that have to do with events going on in the year and based their games off of it.

Also, Haagen Daz, Diet Coke, and Crackerjacks anyone?

I saw many of you have reminded the "train issue"
how about teams will have to work to work together in the "train method" just like in relay races, having to move a game piece from a robot to a robot?
maybe each robot in the alliance will stand on a different stair i.e on different heights?

There was no baseball in Triple Play. There will be no trains involved in this game.

I wonder if any of us has even come close? We have spread a fairly wide net over some of the possabilities, I just wonder how close we were. Back in 2009, one person guessed that the Zamboni facotory near one of the LAT/LONG clues meant that we would be playing on ice. He was close, but who would have believed it?

Hmm.. maybe combining something the chairman winner from the last year does into this year's game? (Miss Daisy holds a competition called RAMP Riot!)

Two points that may interest me:
1. Locomotion, by Little Eva, came out in 1960
2. Haagen Daaz, opened in 1960 - with Vanilla, Chocolate and Coffee ice cream.

I thought that Loco Motion was released in 1962. But whose counting?

It would only be a matter of time before the GDC got Haagen Daaz invovled in a game

I like this!

How about different levels, with a pole (or tracks?) to climb to get to them. Bots are on different levels, and have to rely a game piece to them. Auto is at then end, and bots each start on a different level. You can move between them, or rely on your alliance?

Something like that maybe?

googling from another direction, another song of hers called the turkey trot brings up Little Eva right away.

People may say your some kind of a nut
When you're lifting your knees and you start to strut
But if your really want to get out of a rut
Do some turkey trotton' and all your cares will be forgotten

Come on let's Turkey Trot
Let's give it all we got

perhaps there are ruts on the field... or maybe knees are needed....

[musicgurl1329]

Extra points if you get in/out of the ruts on the field in autonomous mode?
