I struggled with how much to share with you on this last post before the launch. The best clues strike a balance between being too easy and too arcane. Many of the clues start to look the same. Hiding clues is harder than it looks. A photo of a screw or some shrink wrapped parts from a Home Depot delivery... fun but not necessarily helpful.
So for this final post I decided to avoid telling any tall thales and wish you good luck. We can't wait to see how you like the game, Samantha WiFi, and the new stuff available this year.
Good luck teams, see you out there

Hmm.. "Thales?" www.thalesgroup.com
Thales?

also the previous picture of a river suggest this year's game might be a water game =)
And there are these Thales:

Pic looks like a field layout...
OMG, this year's game is fantastic. So many different strategiges are possible, so many Autonomous options exist.
With all the possible play variations, my only complaint is that the red/blue field configurations are only 95% symetrical. Since both of the low batton dispensors appear to be on the audience side, that's a key difference between being red or blue. Oh... so close.
As strategies develop, this potentially gives one alliance color an advantage over the other. (plus it means the auto programs need to adapt to alliance color)
I guess life wasn't meant to be fair :)
