::There are videos of it on Youtube. But I don't think it should be kept in the article. I only added it because a user named Plasma Physics continued adding that section and removing important details from this article. Every time he made his edits, I tried to undo them but he just kept changing it to the way he wants. So I left his ODST section in. Apparently, subtank decided to lock the article. I don't really mind as long as Plasma Physics doesn't keep trying to change the article back.[[User talk:General Heed|General Heed]] 05:04, February 3, 2010 (UTC)

:::Screen shot will be uploaded in next few days. "Outside" refers to any point outside of the playable space in the map. "Floor" refers to the lowest area of the map if all the solids are removed, opposite to map ceiling. Halopedia is not a forum for speculation, so speculation on function is not allowed, that's what got other articles shutdown. Further more, there is no refernces or evidence for a purpose of the Da Vinci objects besides those on Sandtrap and Sandbox.--[[User talk:Plasmic Physics|Plasmic Physics]] 07:42, February 3, 2010 (UTC)

::::A ''much'' clearer way to describe the object's location would be to say: It is positioned outside of the map, on its invisible floor.

::::What floor are you referring to? The "local" floor of that area of the level; the floor for the entire map; or the "global" floor (-50000wu along the vertical axis, as measured in [[Pan Cam]])?

::::And I meant ''usable'' speculation. As an example, it's speculation that Sandbox's eggs kill players and that Heretic's cubes power the lifts. Only way to prove that would be with a shot of a Sandbox egg firing a beam (with beam and egg visible) and an overloaded Heretic, with visibly non-functional lifts and missing cubes. Common sense, however, allows us to associate these particular Da Vinci Code Objects with their functions. <span style="background:#ADA;display:inline-block;height:16px;padding-right:4px;line-height:1em;position:relative;top:-3px;-moz-border-radius:0 50% 50%"><b>[[Image:DavidJCobb_Emblem.svg|16px]]&nbsp;[[User:DavidJCobb|<span style="color:#000;position:relative;top:.15em">DavidJCobb&nbsp;</span>]]</b></span> 13:04, February 3, 2010 (UTC)

:::::Plasma Physics, we've already established a long time ago throughout the history of this article that the DaVinci Objects do serve purposes. If you watched all the videos and saw the screenshots, it is obvious the DaVinci objects do serve their respective purposes on each map. As for the cubes and davinci towers, as DavidJCobb said, you can use common sense to determine their purposes. Oh and Subtank, the only reason why I was edit warring with Plasma Physics was because he kept removing well-established facts from the article. I was just undoing those edits.

::::::Being in Halopedia for almost a year, you should have given him a warning, or at the very least, a request to discuss about his edits.- <font face="Century Gothic">[[User:Subtank|<font color="gold"><font color="#FF4F00">5</font>əb<font color="#FF4F00">'7</font>aŋk</font>]]<sup>([[User talk:Subtank|<font color="#FF4F00">7alk</font>]])</sup></font> 20:04, February 3, 2010 (UTC)
 
:::Logic by common association doesn't always work, for example, the Heretic case. Consider this: There is a house, in the house there is a potted plant. Then a tornado passed straight over it. In the aftermath, both items are missing. By your logic, the reason the house disappeared is because the potted plant was blown away not because of the tornado.
:::It's exactly the same scenario just with different objects. As a last note, I recall in my previous post that I accepted the Sandbox and Sandtrap cases.
:::I believe that for Heretic there is no evidence, just coincidence. One more thing what is the difference between untextured and invisible?--[[User talk:Plasmic Physics|Plasmic Physics]] 23:33, February 3, 2010 (UTC)
