The actual quote text is not from memory. The only one I have a doubt about is the interpretation of the second quote, not the second quote. Also I was right about the IR board, that was the 2008 Game hint #1

On the other hand, those game animations bring back good memories.

Edit (to recap)

2009 Hint 1: (Meaning: game theme, lunar)
Moon Fish Picture (see attachment above)

2009 Hint 2: (Meaning: Zamboni, ice game; Trailer)
Good Morning Teams,

Take your machine out of the shop on Colorado in
Paramount;
stop by and get connected on Central in Phoenix;
drive by and make a pickup on Minnetonka in Minnetonka;
then head to the field on Evergreen in Dover.

23 Days until Kickoff
See you then

2008 Hint 1: (Meaning: Hybrid Mode)
IR Board

2008 Hint 2: (Meaning: Race)
Greetings Teams:
42.349905
-71.076072
342.242026

Happy Holidays and GO TEAMS

2008 Hint 3: (Meaning: Drive straight, turn left)

FRC Game Hint #3
Vet hurdling FIRST tetra

I really could just tell you to use the search, I definitely did that to dig these up.

For the 2008 Hint 2 you could also get the game pice out of it because Blip Toys' address is
15255 Minnetonka Blvd.
Minnetonka, MN 55345

Just thought I'd Point that out.

Those are the same hints that I have (hand)written down in my notebook. Also the same hints that are archived in our team's forum, which are directly copy/pasted from the FIRST emails.

It did indeed point to a Zamboni factory. Also, Blip, the manufacturer of the Orbit Balls, is based out of Minnetonka (on Minnetonka Blvd).

Huh, funny you should ask. I just uploaded full res versions of the game animations for 2003 through 2009 to YouTube yesterday. These are all uploaded from first-generation source files, and not copies from the broadcasts. They can be found here:

- 2009- Lunacy

- 2008 - Overdrive

- 2007 - Rack N Roll

- 2006 - Aim High

- 2005 - Triple Play

- 2004 - FIRST Frenzy- (low-res version only, higher res version will be uploaded later when I get around to it)

- 2003 - Stack Attack

Very cool. Thanks!

Is linking to these YouTube videos on our website legal by FIRST copyright standards?

I read somewhere that we could also write "Used with permission of FIRST, NASA, and Havabanana Productions. (c) YEAR." Is this true?
