The logo was redesigned for the 2006 season.

"Tetraman REMINDER: The Blue Square in the logo does not actually represent a cube. It's actually a Cylinder."

explain?

explain?

The short answer is - looking at a cylinder from the side, it looks like a square.

The long answer deals with an animated video that was shown at World, where the various shapes were used to demonstrate concepts by Archimedes. I don't know if that video is available or not.

Hope this helps!

So for anyone coming into this thread right now: we know nothing.

BAM

The logo was created from proof of the Archenemies Principal. (I think I got this right) The volume of a cylinder is the same as a Sphere and Cone of the same height and width.

I totally forgot about this little fact.

Maybe it's a reference to the Column in the first hint?

Perhaps the game will have to do with balancing objects? Flashback to 2001 (10th anniversary incidentally) where there were no alliances so all of the teams were cooperating?

Edit: Diabolical Dynamics sounds like it could be related to Loco Motion.

But that has alot to do with the FTC challenge this year, ballancing on boards.

and maybe a few of those columns would hold up a second story structure of some sort that was mentioned in the hint 1 thread.

I don't know where or how to set up huge pillars on the game field. If they are too wide they block vision of the field from a player station or audiance standpoint. Grr...

Dave Lavery where are you? Explain this mess to us! Pleeeeeeease...

I'm pretty sure a Dave Lavery "explanation" will only leave us more confused.

I'm going with the lyric "now that you can do it let's make a chain" and the fact that the objects in the logo are linked. I think the game pieces will have to be linked/connected/joined together for scoring. Still two alliances, still 3v3.

I'm not a fan of 'bots on opposing alliances linked to each other. I don't think pushing/pulling matches would be an interesting game, and not much strategy is involved (torque wins, and that's it).

How 'bout this - each alliance attaches game pieces from the far end of the field to one alliance member who drags it back to the home zone. Endgame bonus for the other two alliance members climbing on the train.

Depends on how tall the columns are. 18 inches wouldn't be much different than the humps last year.
