Re: pic: What do you see? Tricky, tricky Dave...

You all need to go outside and get some fresh air. Seriously. You guys are thinking WAAAAAYYYYYY too much about this, and sucking up WAAAAYYYYY too much free time when you should be doing other things (like figuring out how to make Mechanum drives go up stairs or how to eat banana jello with chop-sticks or how AndyMark is going to help us make 116 of these things). Besides, one person on one of these hint-discussion threads could have it right already. And if they did, then you wouldn't have to worry so much about it - you would just need to listen to that person. So the rest of you could just relax.

Go.

Now.

No! Get away from the computer!

Stop that!

Stop looking at the screen!

Get outside!

I mean it!

Go! Get some fresh air!

Re: pic: What do you see? Tricky, tricky Dave...

It's all about a narrow, slippery (banana) and if you don't stay on the narrow trail then you are all wet.

Basically at the end of the trail is the new game. When someone throws a banana on the trail it could cause you to slip away from the end goal. When you do slip off of the trail and go off guessing then you will most likely be wrong and therefore all wet.

Come on January!!!!!

That is, in fact, a stoplight.

Re: pic: What do you see? Tricky, tricky Dave...

If you guys really want something to go all nuts about searching for game hints check this out. In a discussion on the 06 game hint in which this 07 hint was barely discussed Bill Moore came up with the idea that Dave may have been in one way or another indicating that Tally Hall the author of that song would be the musical guest at kick off as can be found here. At first i thought this was just a joke on Bill's behalf but after the three color light trick reveled to us at Nationals i realized that the multi-colored faces of the singing birds in the music video may mean something. Also Its got a whole lot more to do with Bananas than whether or not there are pictures hidden under the Banana shown and is a bit more up Dave's ally if you ask me.

Re: pic: What do you see? Tricky, tricky Dave...

I'm soo taking Dave's advice .......!!!!!

Instead of burning my brain cells over Dave's Hints, i might as well save them for Kickoff and 6 weeks that follows....

Dave: Enough is enough.......Its time to let the kids relax
[instead of figuring out the color fluctuations (someone's watching the BOT), the dim images (Lets not have the BOTS play hide n seek) and Banana (I've already mentioned too much i think .. .... )].

The 3 different colors can be new target lights if you go back to the hint at the 2006 championships

Or, they could be 3 different colour player station lights. 3 alliances of 2?

I don't understand the relevance, but there's van gogh, and a banana. Interesting.

edit:

The stop light also has me thinking. Before the whole water fiasco, there was talk of an interplay between autonomous and driver mode. That is, there would be a random (or team determined) switch from driver mode to autonomous mode in mid match..

Nah..

But what about set periods in which a team's robot, or an alliance is disabled? What about a game piece that, when hit, retrieved, or maybe scored would give you a certain number of seconds of "free play," where your opponents would be completely disabled. Maybe the seconds would cancel out if both teams got them. What about a big ramp in the middle of the field, like in 2003, but with an 8" deep well in the middle 2 robots long and as wide as the ramp? What about being sent into autonomous mode, if you fall into that well (8 inches is probably shallow enough that robots wouldn't harm themselves, but deep enough that they can't just throw a big wheel at the problem of getting out of the "rut."

Nah..

What about goals that are like the 2006 goals, but rather than being fixed to a certain alliance, they toggle back and forth during the match. Like, maybe a red light and a blue light. If the blue light is on over the goal, then the blue alliance should score in that goal, and if the red light is on, then the red alliance should score. What if goal ownership were controlled by the field robots? Like, they accomplish a certain task, and the scoring system runs a randomizer to determine which goals belong to who, or the goal ownership simply toggles to the goal the task-accomplishing alliance robot selects.

Nah..

What about human players in the middle of the field, in some sort of shielded cage?

Nah..

Alice in wonderland? How deep does the rabbit hole go? Cheshire cat, the clown? The Matrix? Pool of tears? Banana boat? yellow jello? FLL ocean odyssey? carnival games? slip 'n slide?

I'm not very good at this "figure out the game" thing.

Bananas, stop lights, clowns, bunnies, jello, water.. oh boy.

I am definitely going to remember to look back at these threads after the game is unveiled next year.
