Re: pic: 2007 Game Hint?

I have a headache in just thinking about the possibilities of a water game. I guess IFI will be extremely busy trying to make something that relys heavily on electricity into something thats water proof. Talk about a few fried Spikes and Speed Controllers =). As for the Banana on what I like to call baby bot that banana symbolizes that if you can figure out the 2007 game before this years through you can have a banana. =p. Chances are the blue box baby bot is in symbolizes a starting grid, scoring location, soring object load up location <----like in 2005 Where the human players would have to wait for the robot to be completely in its box in order for the human player to get off the mat and safely load the tetra(s) onto their bots. However I could be wrong, I don't think anyone can see what goes on in Daves large mind (not even the therapists he goes to after making our heads hurt from his crazy yet extremely funny hints).


By the way I think that baby bot should have some sick time for himself, Hes been hit and everything else and yet hes the only one getting this torture, stop picking on the small people =)

Re: pic: 2007 Game Hint?

no, not underwater but underwater themed.
you can clearly see the traditional carpet texture here, and from the reflection on the back of the bot, you can see that there is some fishy design going around, adding to the theme.
Also there, is a row of colored circles on a mount. I see this as the third coming of CMU, where the bot has to identify from like 6 or however many) different colored lights. (combining the colorful use of the technology in Triple Play -- green vision tetras, and red and yellow reflective triangles under the goals and at autoloaders and the like with the practical light-up technology in Aim High)

i dont think that it is a clownfish, due to the rather large pointy looking fin on the top of its head.

And this year's animation hit it with way more then 2 balls...

I kind of feel sorry for the little bot...

Re: pic: 2007 Game Hint?

Bananas are traditionally part of a gag by having someone/something slipping on them.

Maybe instead of water, it will be ice in 2007, agreeing with the whole curling game post a while back.

Either that, or Las Guerrillas is the next target to ask some hard hittin' questions to.

edit:Wow. How well do objects reflect in MAX? Is that 4 color ball shapes I see reflected in the upper left hand corner area of the robot's back?

Namely, blue, red, green, yellow?

I'm guessing this is just a joke about a water game from the great Dave, but based on the field from the 2006 game.

Do I see the return of 4 colored game objects, namely spherical shapes??

Re: pic: 2007 Game Hint?

First off all, you set how reflective objects are in MAX. Second, Dave doesn't use 3DS Max, he uses Lightwave. Thirdly, it might be my monitor but I don't see no reflection. Although I do have theories about that line.

wow your really observant! it took me a bit to find it after u told us about it! very interesting about the colors.. maybe he wasn't kidding about the different colored lights or maybe the balls are going to be different colors and we have to shoot or place them in their appropriate colored goals.

On the subject of the tidbit, can anyone shed some insight on how the game shifts around in the design phase and winds up becoming the stuff we play just a few months later?

Re: pic: 2007 Game Hint?

If you look carefully in the middle of the robot's topside, there appears to be four hula hoops. Maybe just reflection. However, it also follows the red, green, blue, yellow, color scheme. Seems pretty telling... Or it might just be Dave beimg clever again.

Re: pic: 2007 Game Hint?

If you zoom in closely on the rest of the top of the robot, you can faintly see the red and blue orbs on the second ripple down also, although much smaller.

Exactly what I was talking about. Thanks. You can see Yellow and possibly Orange as well. And guess what? That's 5 colors.
