2011 FRC Game Hint #2

[EJB2081]

Yeah im gonna have to say this one seems like its a linkage clue....

just going obvious here, these one seems to be the most blunt clue yet

[JesseK]

Cones have a square base, a rounded shape, and a triangular side-profile view.

And they stack.

Lord help us all...

Game Hint #1 and Game Hint #2. Maybe its that simple. This could verify the concept of having to link to our alliance, due to the fact that the FIRST logo is linking a triangle and square.

also, the triangle is red and the square is blue, possibly representing the red and blue alliances, so maybe the game is a huge game of chasing the opponent around and attempting to link onto them. However that doesn't seem like the most high scoring/exciting game, so maybe that's just the end game.

That or a cargo clue. BTW, When this thing gets to 5 pages, someone should do a summary of all the activity.

Answering my own question. This style logo appeared in 2005, with Triple Play - which was also released on January 8th.

Maybe an updated version of that game. 3D tic-tac-toe was certainly easy for audiences to comprehend!

[AllenGregoryIV]

The image on the hint page has dimensions 315x223 while the actual image that is only labeled as logo.jpg has dimension 336x237.

I don't know if that means anything just seems odd that they would specifically change it and only make it a tad smaller on the hint page.

I do like the opponents being linked together idea. The logo has red linked with blue/a triangle linked with a square. Now "linked" could be taken a few ways: linked like 2009, linked with a long rope, maybe even a bungee cord, or the game field could be split in 3 sections and alliances are 3v3 but pitted against another team 1v1.

Red and blue next to eachother reminds me of 3D glasses.

Or what if we have to put the cargo into certain containers (train cars) and then link them together. Points for types of cargo in the cars times how many cars are connected together.

I'm sure I speak for a majority of the teams, volunteers, and spectators, when I say: I hope not!!!

Also, It could represent our alliances linking together. Maybe witht he though of each team in the alliance performs a different task to let the other robot continue.

Perhaps a reference to coopertition? Your alliance cannot do something till the other alliance has done something? That way the play is linked together.

Exactly what I just stated above. It makes perfect sense.

How would scoring work?

How can we work in locomotion?

IMO cones are a great game piece, they also fit in the 20th anniversary, with the stack attack reference.
