Woodie's Game Hint @ Atlanta

[Pavan Dave]

At 16:11 into MorTorq TV's 5th Episode Woodie tells us,

"Just be careful about the stock market, with jello, gerbils, and K'nex blocks."

Start guessing guys!

[Brian J. R.]

Hmm......there are red and blue jello gerbils out on the field, and as a team of 2 aginst another team, you have to see how many jello gerbils you can get into the mondo K'nex cage. If the jello gerbil looses its shape (IE you kill the gerbil) you loose points because you just killed it.

There will be two teams of 2 on the field and you will have a 15 second atonumos period to see who can open the cage first, the team that does get a free gerbil. After that you have 2 minutes of collecting and dumping your gerbils into the cage. The end result is counted as follows:

Live jello gerbils (that still look like gerbils) get you 2 points
Dead jello gerbils subtract 1 point.

Lastly if you can lift yourself or a teammate's bot onto the cage, you gain bonus points.

haha i think it might be a better stragedy to just leave the gerbils alone.


for me i think in autonomous you have to hook your roboti up to te internet and make it choose 5 stocks that will earn it exactly 500.32 dollars

then it has to teleport the jello back to the human player at which point the human player must eat it using only the 3 foot long forks he has fashioned from the knex blocks

Hmmm the Stock Market goes up and down... as does a gerbil wheel... possibly some sort of ferris wheel structure on the field that rotates constantly? Some sort of wiggly jello-like game piece must be placed on this rotating structure and points are received for the amount of time in the ferris-wheel-thing (like a stock market investment).

That could be a very brilliant game. Sounds like a return of the autonomous bonus, but with an added "beginning of game" bonus...

[Cooley744]

are there any more 2008 game hints out there??? and what was the banana ever about in the 2007 game hint??? game hints are confusing.

[Ryan Dognaux]

Haha I love it how he's just throwing stuff out there to throw people off. Woodie Flowers, you are the coolest.

By the way, very stellar production 1515. I don't think I've ever seen anything so well produced by a team. Whoever edits and shoots it has a lot of skill and it shows.

i agree except think the ferris wheel will wobble (like the rack was on chains and could freely move) and the game piece will be something that could hook onto a ferris wheel

Someone should start a thread that is a rumor mill of Who will spill next year's big rumor and what that rumor would be.

[robochick1319]

I'm really excited to hear a clue this early but I am kind of suspicious. Usually these clues come after Christmas so I can't help but wonder if this is simply a distraction rather than the real deal.

Also, (not to burst y'all's bubble) there will probably never be any game involving any type of water because:
1) It will cost too much to have each arena equipped with such capabilities

2) It will take too much maintenance to take care of a field covered with water (Let's not forget the poof balls that kept shredding and eventually lost their structural integrity)

3) You are not even supposed to drink water around a robot. Imagine a task dealing with water. The safety issues are through the roof! The complications are far too many.

I can't tell you much about this game, but there will not be water and if there is, as a safety captain, I may need some water to keep from hyperventilatiing.

They all have to do with boxes.

take the gerbil to start with
-between his bones are cartiledge, that cartiledge is made into jello
-jello then is served to consumers in a cardboard box manufactured by the same company that makes those for the k'nex boxes
-k'nex is owned by mattell, whose stocks are for sale in the stock market

my friend told me that. i'm thinking that the next challanges has to do with boxes

But it's still unlikely that FIRST will have a competition for water.

...While the baton-whirling Tammy Trimble warns us of no more metal on the robots.
