2011 Game Hint #1

[skebhners2]

So here is what we've got after a full day of brainstorming.

To start, the obvious.
In 1962 Loco-Motion was released. So the game involves track, or trains. The concept of E.V.A. may or may not be a factor. Also, something in the game is going to be mirrored, because the image FIRST used is flipped.

Now for our takes on this.
Maybe there is a multi-level playing field. Which includes stationary robots with moving arms, and a moving goal on the upper level track. Robots must place game piece in the moving goal on the track.

Or, maybe connecting to your alliance for part of the game. Your alliance picks up pieces together.

Or, maybe to go with the mirror theory, reversing goals randomly throughout the game, using alternating red and blue LED lights. (Note: LED lights were invented in 1962...)This would result in a game of high scoring.

Or, also with the mirror theory, maybe the drivers are divided from the playing field by one way mirrors, so they can see the field, but cannot be seen. Also, the human players would somehow correspond.

Or, to explain the column, and Greek background of Eva's middle name, maybe there is a multi-level playing field in which the robots can hook on to a monorail type system held up by columns.

And lastly, think about where a lot of our game equipment comes from. Walmart. Yes, Walmart taking over FIRST. See, Walmart first opened in 1962 as well. Maybe the game has to do with a 3 part alliance as usual. One robot picks up game pieces, placing them on the next robot to travel on a track, to the third robot that places them on a shelf.
