Re: 2011 FRC Game Hint #2

Here are the two hints again, just for reference sake. It does seem a bit odd that one is labeled "FRC 2011 Game Hint 1.jpg" while the other is simply "logo.jpg"
Hum. 4 days.

Re: 2011 FRC Game Hint #2

FIRST hid a lot of metadata in the second hint in comparison to the first hint:

First hint:

Second hint:

Re: 2011 FRC Game Hint #2

Perhaps it can mean that all three robots on the alliance will need to work together more tightly in order to complete the game entirely, instead of previous years when each robot did it's own thing to help the alliance...

Re: 2011 FRC Game Hint #2

Just my thoughts, please no "but that has already been posted," I know, I just want to contribute some extra food for thought.

1. I agree with the idea that the things taken out of the pictures are important, if it had happened on one or the other, it wouldn't be important, but on both is too big a coincidence.
2. I doubt the people who say that a tube (like a column) would be used, because FTC's game pieces this year are tubes
3. I believe that the trains are the biggest red herring ever (although many ideas sound very awesome)
4. Going to the idea of things being taken away, the beta testers for the software said that in LabView one of the autonomous (I don't remember off the top of my head) was removed (Most likely unconnected to the game, but you never know)

My own opinions on some of the previously posted ideas:
1. I wouldn't mind having autonomous taken away (even though I enjoy programming it, it would leave time for troubleshooting other areas)
2. I would to have tetras back

Re: 2011 FRC Game Hint #2

Now here's something interesting I figured out:
Take the aspect ratio of the hint, and divide it by the aspect ratio of http://usfirst.org/uploadedImages/Ro...t_Reversed.gif

The result:
http://www.wolframalpha.com/input/?i...223)/(1019/919)

Notice the period for the repeating decimal...112998...an anagram for 1/8/1992, which happens to be the date for kickoff this year, and the year of the first game in FIRST. Probably just a coincidence, but pretty cool.

Edit: I am slightly confused by the Wolfram Alpha result though, because the decimal approximation doesn't show this repeating decimal. I may have misinterpreted, but a cool coincidence nonetheless.

Edit: After further research, I realized by period they mean period as in lamda, no in the grammatical sense.

I don't think they're removing Autonomous. It would be too big a change.

Re: 2011 FRC Game Hint #2

what about if we have to build 3 different robot and each has to do a different function. Then we have to link together one of our robots with two form other teams. That would be links, locomotion, and having smaller robots like in the beginning of FIRST

This is a design strategy, not a reason why the game is bad.

Honestly, though, I bet it'll just be the Greatest Hits game.

Re: 2011 FRC Game Hint #2

Putting it all together...

The first hint. A greatest hits album, words removed, image reversed.
= The game name will be "Locomotion" and it will be one of FIRST's greatest hits
= The reversed image means "Locomotion" will be played reversed, with auto mode being the last 20 seconds or so of the match


The second hint. The symbol that represents FIRST, with the wording removed showing just linked shapes.
= You will have to "Link up" with something, in order to go into auto mode
= You can't do this first(The first wording removed) you have to do this last, cause if your not first, your last.

Take it to the bank.

































Don't.

All three robots must have trailer hitches in front and back and create a train type chain.

Re: 2011 FRC Game Hint #2

My first thought when I saw this hint was interlocking pieces, seems like that could be a little hard to do though.

Re: 2011 FRC Game Hint #2

I just got to thinking that image one -- locomotion -- trains linked together.
image 2, first logo - linked symbols, but no FIRST logo.

Perhaps the game is called something like "The Missing Link" or something like that.
