[FTC]: Game Hints???

[ssi]

Team 2843 is honored that Ken has chosen to showcase our team colors in the hint posted today. (I admit the green isn't quite our shade, but the red, yellow and blue aren't too far off - we will take what we can get).

Can't wait for Saturday!

I just finished the animation explaining the 2012 game rules. The Game Design Team did a great job coming up with a VERY challenging game this year!

Of course the rules are top secret until Saturday afternoon, but they let me release this image.

...The game object is...BLANKETS?

... ... ... ! .

That is what my face is going to look like when they release the kraken game.

[gotrobot?]

Wow. Not sure what to think. Looks like our rookie FTC year will be an good one.

Maybe its a yellow colored robot that will be the third alliance???? I really really hope so

In previous years' games, there have been rules about materials used as a color filter for a light sensor, but the games have never really necessitated their use.
For example, last year's rule R5.c.25 stated: "Any material strictly used as a color filter for a Light Sensor.".

Anyone else see a few similarities between that and the latest picture on Ken's blog? Perhaps different colored game pieces?

I am now doubting myself about the bowling thing. At this point, I'm just confused. I can't wait for saturday...

re the last hint, the colored spots and "whirlwind" make me think of a Twister game mat.

Hmmmmmmmmmm what do you think Bob bot is up to

[gotrobot?]

Hmmmm. Bob bot doesn't have eyelids this year... but what does it mean?

[robokiller]

He was introduced to mountain dew.

Bob has a new attachment on his rear. Looks like a tow bar, or maybe a sensor on the end of a shiny bar that could swivel.
