Re: 2011 FRC Game Hint #2
I like the Idea of combining FTC and FLL, however, some schools have FRC teams and FTC teams and some students have participated in FLL too. For those people that haven't, it would possibly be an unfair advantage.
At our meeting today, our team saw the hint and one of our advisers immediately thought of linking together (like previously mentioned several times), but he thought it could be for bonus points at the very end of the match. It may be too easy though. But, don't count on anything I say to be remotely close to reality. ![]() |

Re: 2011 FRC Game Hint #2
Some people mentioned how FIRST was trying to hide the origins of the game hints by editing them slightly
Game hint #1: The GDC did do a good job of hiding the true origins of the pic. It took the FRC community ~ 2 hours to figure it out. Which is pretty impressive considering the technical know how and obsessiveness of some (most... ok all) of the posters on Chief Delphi. Game hint #2: On the other hand, I really hope no one was confused about this hint. It is the FIRST logo for crying out loud, so what if they deleted the words. The GDC should have had no dreams about disguising this hint. This is a FIRST game hint for a FIRST event that used the FIRST symbol. I think they should have thought that we would make the connection to FIRST. |

Vision targets with the FIRST logo. Maybe only the logo? We'll see in T-4 days.

Re: 2011 FRC Game Hint #2
I just had the worst thought ever. I imagined the field with a bunch of blocks, each with part of the logo on it, and you had to arrange them by pushing/pulling the blocks so that you create the FIRST logo. Similar to a puzzle in the forrest temple in the Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time (best game ever!!)

Re: 2011 FRC Game Hint #2
Last year we had the ability to track and aim at the target, it was a slightly edited version of the one seen in the default LABview template, I don't think we ever used it though. During Lunacy, we did eventually get working tracking of the trailers, but we scrapped the camera in the final robot design.

Re: 2011 FRC Game Hint #2
My thoughts on the hint are:
--all three shapes will be used or --there will be connecting trains like the shapes overlap each other. |

Re: 2011 FRC Game Hint #2
1) Little Eva did Locomotion.
2) OK, so the logo looks like a train. Possible hint #3? And, the picture that Dave Lavery was in was taken at the "Boxcar Willie Memorial Overpass" on I35. OK, I think the operative part of this is the "Overpass". When coupled with the boxcar aspect, it sounds like trains of linked things and we have to go over an overpass. As another thought, Boxcar Willie died in 1999. Maybe some aspect of the 1999 game ("Double Trouble?") coming back? In that game, we had to lift the game pieces up (maybe to an overpass?) and we got more points the higher they got. Maybe we have to distinguish different shaped game pieces and lift them to different levels to get different points? Just more grist for the mill... Mike |

Re: 2011 FRC Game Hint #2
I hate to ruin the fun, but Dave has had that picture as his WAI for years. It means nothing in regards to the hints and game.
