The Greek Letter delta represents change in math, and is a triangle. A recycling symbol also is a triangle. Maybe triangular game pieces?

It's not. The 2012 clip is from Archimedes, as evidenced by the scoreboard note at the bottom.

He recycles the hint but says change is coming. "The more things change, the more they stay the same"?

It looks like it's just the gate for exiting the field to me...

Let's just take the literal approach.

Recycling bins are the 2015 game piece. The bin is on the field for the hint after all.

2012 is from archimedes finals with 1114, 2056, and 4334.

Compared to Frank, the recycling bin appears to be a tall and skinny one (up to his hips), but compared to the field border, it seems quite short.

I might just be seeing things though...

Almost every bit of the footage showed something happening at the highest height that each year shown reached for. It seems pretty straightforward on that front: we will be going high this year, probably with an elevator. Taller maximum starting configuration? High goal at 15'?

I suspect that they are serious that there will be unprecedented changes to the robots and game play this year. We won't be cruising through build season, I think.

True! Also, the recycling bin of course has a triangle on it!

The paperclip on the game manual looked somewhat triangular. 3 team alliances?

Recycle the letters in "change is coming" and you get "mechanics going".

He forgot to take out the giant paperclip holding the pages together. Any recycler would know not to mix your materials.

2005: 3 vs. 3 introduced
2009: primary field surface isn't carpet for the first time since 1992
2013: field perimeter changes

Those are all the changes listed in the video

3-3-2-2-4-4?
Also, Frank was on the 2nd page which (as someone pointed out) is the page about assist and cycling. What if this points back to this cycle? Which would be now

3-3-2-2-4-4-2

Does this mean were looking at 2003?

I think you may be right. Game will be called "First Delta", with triangular game pieces.

2015 Jr FLL and FLL challenges both have to do with waste & recycling. Waste Wise and Trash Trek are the respective challenge names. Maybe the FRC game theme will follow suit.
