[b-rant]

i love the one fish two fish red fish blue fish idea so i decided to go check it out.

Who am I?
My name is Ned.
I do not like
my little bed.

This is no good.
This is not right.
My feet stick out
of bed all night.

so i believe the bed is just a platform that doesn't have a ramp so robots will have to learn how to climb into bed and the robot in the picture is trying to be like the fish so i said hmm..... banana fish.... maybe but any way i came up with this page http://images.google.com/imgres?img...6lr%3D%26sa%3DG which is a crib bedding set and the crib is just a bed (platform) that is smaller than the platform from last year so some of the robot may hang of the edge like ned's feet.

he's sitting on it

Somehow at the end of the match you would be scored on how many objects you had and if you correctly separated them.

I think you may be on to something, who's to say that the three colors have to do with lights. It could be game color pieces, or even (my hopes) a third allaince color. That would spice things up a bit !

"Who's Got the Uber Tuber?"

Is that savage soccer you are talking about? that game was tough to score for. confusing. The tube doesn't look like it'll stand up anyway.

I really hope it's not like Botball 2006 where you had to sort things like 'trash' or 'recycle' things.

O god possible game hints giveing me headaches!!

I wonder how heavy these will be?

[Gboehm]

I see a ball on the floor....

What's that emblem on his shirt, NASA related?

[teh_pwnerer795]

Maybe, dave... is trying to distract us? .... if u look behind him... you see chairs? ... maybe for ppl to sit down and watch.. BUT... there is a chair beside him.... on the level field... and also a ball underneath it.....

also maybe the water bottle beside him... also represents the water scene??

roflmao .... i dont noe .. maybe im wrong

[underwood]

actually, the water scene is a very good theory. earlier game hints, like that one with the fish, show water, and that is a sealed pvc capsule. it floats. *dun-dun-duuuuun!* so maybe a challenge involving getting floating pvc capsules out of the water.

[Schnabel]

Does anybody notice the wooden chair behind the chair on the lower level? It is black and hard to see.

[Mike Starke]

Has anyone noticed Wetzel's signature? When we first saw the thread in our Robotics class, we noticed the signature, looked up the lyrics and blasted the song. The song is "Sunday Bloody Sunday" by U2. We weren't quite sure if theres anything specific in the song, but it's something to look in to. And would anyone know what the "GPO" means at the end of his signature? I looked it up, and the biggest meaning i found was "Grand Postal Office". Remember the mailboxes from last year? putting the capsules in the mailboxes...?
hmmmm....

[TubaMorg]

Am I the only one that sees a resemblance to the unabomber?

[Josh Goodman]

it looks like he's sitting on stairs....

Both. WI had a VEX competition that was based on Savage Soccer game using the "uber tuber", but it was a completely different game known as "Who's got the Uber Tuber??"

To those unfamiliar with either game, the scoring object was a small piece of PVC with caps on the ends, though the caps weren't close (it looked like a dumbell seen here ).

These are much bigger. Can the cold cathode lights be run off of portable batteries? Put some cathode lights in these puppies and watch them glow (the wall thickness would have to be a bit smaller, but just think if the color could be remotely changed.....MWAHAHAHAHA).

Glowing field elements and 3-4 colors.....anyone up for "Glow-in-dark FIRST"? that would be cool to see.

Maybe the chair in the back represents the black ps3 thats coming out. Maybe Sony is only releasing 400k of them on release because FIRST has bought half a million of them to use as game pieces.
wouldnt it be cool to have the game be
S3 CHALLENGE:
Make your robot play Ridge Racer 7 for the ps3.

just a thought
