Would someone mind taking a picture of this tape measure? Also, have there been any hints from the deans lost ceremony in the past that corresponded with the game?
Everybody, it’s clearly a hint that the game will be Zone Zeal, all over again.
Is it my DREAM game? a game in the dark, where the field or field outline and all game pieces are glow in the dark! All robots put flashlights on themselves to see better.
It could also lead to climbing. Team 2064 used tape measure to climb to level 3.
And my final conclusion is…Forget about it. its close to impossible to guess a game especially this far ahead of time
Zone Zeal. IN THE DARK. ON BOATS
Hmmmmm. Metric on the tape measure…
Championships will be held in Europe.
The 16 is in red because the standard distance apart to put studs in a wall is 16 inches. On most tape measures the numbers are in red every 16 inches.
The robots will have to build the field with wood studs before they can score.
…It’s possible.
I actually really want to see a game with backlight. Something like laser tag would be really fun!
Water is obviously and important part of this clue. However, the waterproof cRIO has not been released by our sponsors. Thus only ice will be allowed. The OP is completely correct about the fire aspect. Tape measures are blade-like and have a hook on the end similar to a hockey stick. Put all of this together and you come to the inescapable conclusion that next year will be an ice hockey game with flaming pucks.
Then again, when he said “you’ll need it for next year’s game” he might have meant “you’ll need it to build your robot for next year’s game.”
Probably a red herring.
NI’s new CRIO will be waterproof.
A nuclear game? Marie Curie was a nuclear scientist… maybe they are going to somehow scew the game to favour the curie divison. I can see the rules now:
G35: All FOULS and TECHNICAL FOULS caused by the CURIE divison during the einstien playoffs will be negated compeletey.:eek:
Betcha didn’t even notice the black diamonds every 19.2" (it’s not quite 19-3/16"). 
That does sound like an interesting tape measure game.
Laser tag with robots! This could be awesome!!
I think we may be going in completely the wrong direction. Maybe we will use the tape measures for some kind of extending thing (My team almost did this to make a level 2 climber) and the light might be used for the retroreflective tape that they use on the vision targets. Perhaps this game is similar to 2011 with the whole forklift thing.
What color does the tape measure glow? Anyone know?
Exactly what I was getting at. Maybe the game will make use of tape measures to extend and hook onto objects like the game at the power tools booth at championships.
I believe it was noted that they had flashlights built in, not actually glow in the dark.
