Check out the pics at these links. It has the image reversed in every direction, including colors, and each stresses the pic differently.

You can see something at the bottom left corner. Looks like darth vader or some time of monster to me.

King Kong was a monster. In fact a giant gorilla. This would help the banana idea out a bit.

anyone know the font of the 5? that may be a clue as well.

It's Arial, but I don't think it really matters.

Just pointing this out. I don't know which one it is, but I remembered the second post from page 4. Yay searching.

Okay my sister came up with paranoid ideas. or weird or whatever. I printed out the picture and my sister looked at it upside down, she said "hey it's a 'g'". That's about it from her, I would go on but her guess is a bit out there. My guess for the blue background, maybe instead of carpet there'll be new terrain. My co-captain's been making the this guess for the past three years,"my guess would be some terrain", probaly because he loves 4-wheeling though. My sister says maybe there are five golden rings that to retrieved in water with islands made of diamond plate. another team member took a guess at maybe there are a seris of objectives we have to complete before time runs out(he was looking at the lego league pictures). That last guess one of us have is, it's only the first clue because of when I saved the picture, the files name was '2007Clue1'.

maybe they'll have 5 individual platforms for the robots to go on instead of one one big one on each end like past years.

[Tri_Lam]

anyone else see the audience in the background of the pic???

[Faith]

Maybe the banana should be taken more literally

I like the rings, and the field like a five of diamonds card

...with a platform in the center instead, and the diamond's are towers.

Then in four places (similarly placed to the diamond's but closer to the center) are four banana shaped towers with rings on the stem.

The goal is to get the rings off the bananas onto the diamond's, or get rings from your hp and do the same. Then end up on the platform in the middle.

Now the bananas are incorporated, the diamond plate and the five are explained, and so are the rings around the diamond plate

On the other hand, maybe the human players need to run on a treadmill while the robots go. In that case, I volunteer to be human player

I just read (re-read in parts) all 38 pages.
There's some good stuff:
puns, jokes, ideas, poetry - neato...

I did not see this:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Home_Plate_%28Mars%29

In a lot of the thread, esp. the first 15 pages, there are references to levels and baseball suggestions like home plate.

I thought this interesting anyway.

That certainly wouldn't be the first time that there's been a Mars rover/FIRST connection.

I recently watched the 2006 game animation. At the end it says it is produced by Havna (not sure on spelling) Banana. Maybe that is where the banana comes from.

Turn it 90 degrees one way from the 5, and it looks like a fancy connected 07. w00t for 2007 shorthand.
