Almost Saturday...



What a whirlwind late summer huh? Back to school, crazy weather, and all kinds of things ramping up. None of that will hinder the roll we're on to launch the FTC game Saturday.

OK,
I'm on serious Clue Overload now!!!

Karan Hiremath said...

3 alliances?!?!!?! Red, blue, and yellow??? Hmmmmmmm

Unknown said...

That's a good clue!!! Being a FTC AP, I'm in a work....clued in. Trust me, it's a really good clue.

McLovin said...

Whirlwind? Ramping up? Roll? Launch? IDK!!! AH... SATURDAY come quicker!

Aaron said...

There's only one green ball... extra points for the green ball?

Jrc4055 said...

My guess is that, is they are bringing back the ramp from "Get Over It!" Idk about roll though..

robokiller said...

The game elements are balls and they are see through!!!

Anonymous Coward said...

The color sensor will play an important role, somehow.

Gentleman Crab said...

The balls could be pucks. I bet there are still 2 alliances but the third colored 'circles' are poison and the fourth colored 'circles' are bonus points

averyber said...

looks like there are corrugated goals in the painting at the corners of it

Whitaker Family said...

Water balloons can roll, can't they?

Unknown said...

Does no one realize the game is Obviously HOCKEY!!! The hockey stick, the pucks the 2 different goal

Nate the not so great said...

I like the poison idea.

McLovin said...

If you guys go over to Chief Delphi, there is another clue that was released by the animatior of the game this year. Something covered in a blanket.

averyber said...

This was the easiest clue. Go look at the name of this piece. It seems that racquetball balls are at least part of the game elements.

Can anyone confirm the actual time of the release on saturday? I have seen 3 or 4 different times now across web sites. Please include the time zone too. thanks.

Jrc4055 said...

@Joel, very intersting, perhaps the red and blue colors represent alliances and the yellow are bonuses.

JoelAlexander said...

@Jrc4055
Since the piece was not made my FIRST, I doubt it contains any symbolic significance besides its title.

Georgia FTC said...

@Team #3387: The online release of the game is set for 3:00 PM ET. Several regions are doing live kickoff events prior to the online announcement to give some teams a head-start. In Georgia, this will be our 4th year doing a live kickoff with a full field and workshops

Gentleman Crab said...

Averyber. i have to agree. that does appear to be the corrigated goals. I expect that we don't score in them this year, but wouldn't be suprised if they are obsticales like the were in HOT SHOT.
Red, Yellow, and Blue scoring element colors have been used before. Does anyone know if a olive drab / green has been used before

Jrc4055 said...

@Gentleman Crab, I was wondering that as well. I think that the name of the painting is the main hint of this post. Though its a little confusing if you account the Penguin, and the mention of the word "Cool" and "cooler" in other posts, which I think ties to hockey pucks. Maybe more than one game element? But, back to your question, I think it may just be under the "Yellow" catogory, if its in the context of colors

Jrc4055 said...

@Joel, ah so that may be true, though has there been a game hint that WAS made by FIRST?

Its HotShot all over again.
