Clue #2 for the competition

Clue Number 2 is now open

http://usfirst.org/roboticsprograms/frc/content.aspx?id=16119

Take a gander....
What do you think

hey! That looks like the length rail for the competitions every year... but that yellow strip... will there be color sensativity?

perhapse friction strips?

Now that I have gotten a GOOD, CLEAR LOOK at the clue...

It's interesting. Looks kind of odd. Note how the vertical bars are displaced; it might be significant to something.

the yellow strips are slightly elevated at the rear, closest to the rail, sorta forming a ramp...

Maybe they move? I wonder if something is rolled off of them like a ramp but then again they look like thin flaps of plexiglass or something

what could theyre purpose be? gaaaahhhhh i gotta wait a whole hour to find out! ~_~

Did we only get 2 clues this year o.0

we get the last clue at 9:57 this morning ^^

Oh yeah wow... whats the point XD

to make us cry... vv
how do the two hints work together?

Well as we came up with on thursday, from anthony turning the picture upside down, they appear to be rails. what if the rails were vertical rather than horizontal and those yellow things is where it stands?

but why the incline...? perhapse it would be like a slide, somehow....?

maybe we have to roll something up it or something is dropped from it. last year there was the human element with throwing the balls from the side

i hope to the FSM that there isnt any human elements... DX
theyre just an unfair variable... =l

As we have learned from the past two years... they can come up with anything. overdrive was more of a race rather than strategy and lunacy had the human element. maybe they will combind the two or go back to strategy. do the robots have to be mobile?

i dont know of any game where they wernt, but (in my humble opinion) i htink its much more likely then ever having a swimming robot ^^;;;
