thus robots must be able to pick oranges from 8 foot tall trees, and place them in baskets.

am i close?
Wow, that logic's just crazy enough to possibly be correct!

Re: pic: 2007 Game Hint?

Having way too much time and ftp space, our team has added a page to our website on the 2007 game and the theories we have. The reason I put this link here is because most of the theories stem from this picture.

http://team291.org/Team291/2007_Game.htm

The whole website thing isn't 100% done yet so there may be a few typos.

Also, I would have liked to post this entire thing onto ChiefDelphi just to keep all theories in one place, but it was just too long and we wanted to have lots of pictures with it.

Re: pic: 2007 Game Hint?

i love the one fish two fish red fish blue fish idea so i decided to go check it out.
http://www.audible.com/adbl/site/pro...BK_LILI_000375

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?imgu...lr%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.

Re: pic: 2007 Game Hint?

Someone touched on the earlier by saying there might be a lack of visibility for the drivers. What if the lack of clarity in Dave's picture is just showing how drivers will see this year's game? Perhaps the game will require precision but the drivers will be looking through some type of material that will make their view of this precise activity very unclear.

Actually, I'm surprised that has never been done before. Maybe we'll need to install a camera on our robots, and the drivers stations will have displays placed at them. Then we'll need to drive our bots like the mini subs that pilot under water.

The the problem with the camera idea is the cost of doing so - real-time video streams off of four robots running on a wireless network to displays in front of the drivers would cost a lot and increases the risk of having a technical problem cause the driver to lose control during a match. Also, although some level of distortion in front of the driver might not cause too much trouble, too much distortion and you have a safety issue where the driver can't see to drive.

If this was posted in 2005 how is it the clue for the 2007 game?

However, everyone involved with the game design process realized that the infrastructure modifications that would be needed were fairly substantial, and probably not the sort of thing that could be done on short notice. Therefore, we have modified our system to release this hint a full year in advance so that both teams and competition facilities can begin to consider how to contend with this twist on the game concept. So now you have something to do other than burning out all those brain cells trying to decipher the 2006 Official Game Hint!

p.s. you will find out what the banana is for in April.
^--- That was at the end of 2005, saying 2006 was short notice.. now, the scenery has changed! If I see water at kickoff, then I am going to freak!
