Found some random pieces in the High Res wallpaper that appear multiple times and seem out of place... Also noticed that some of the stuff appears in a "blueprint" and actual behind it...

I'm thinking the game will be themed about running a factory or operating a boiler. Many small round-ish game pieces (the coal) to be scored in goals and a few gear or cog shaped pieces (the repair parts) with high point values to be scored or placed in alternate scoring zones.

End game will be to burn out the drive motors, causing the magic smoke (or steam, in this game) to be released.

I've been wanting to see moving field elements on the fiel for the longest time! Maybe this will be my year!

The huge focus on the word "cog", the number 6 on the bumper as Logan pointed out, the various cogs in the picture. I think there may be something that the robots may need to do to activate something on the field, or realease the game pieces (maybe footballs ;))

My thought for this is is the complexity of the past few FTC games (2015 and 2016 in particular) I've been wanting something like these past games to come to FRC and this may be my year.

I'm very excited for 2017.

Activation of the machine would be similar to capturing the tower. But the whole Steampunk concept is far from the futuristic theme everyone was buzzing about.
There is also the shoveling ringtone. Perhaps coal is also being added to this device to make the steam.

STEAM is an acronym that loses its way for the want of including too many fields - it becomes a platitude that loses all meaning.
It just seemed like you were getting angry at FIRST for a reason that doesn't even exist. The name of the game is Steamworks because it has a Steampunk theme, why does that have to mean that they meant for it to be S.T.E.A.M.?

Team 6 was from Minnesota. Maybe they predict that a MN team will finally win Einstein at one of the champs?

I dont mind that its called steamworks if that name works, was just giving my 2 cents against the steam acronym (not the same person you initially replied to).

The number six may imply that there will still be 6 robots on the field at a time.

Also this looks like a major game piece since it's in the logo and in the highres with the FIRST logo on it... But where would someone source a game piece like this?!?! :P When I saw it in the logo, I thought it looked like this probably will move... Maybe in the air??
