Circles in the background might be.. springs? =)

My theory is that the blueish "waves" coming out from the disc are the curve of a blue inner tube, which is what I think that game object will be.

Or could it be a Hula Hoop like discussed last year ;)

If you look at the picture without anything done to it though, it looks like the "manhole" was bouncing up and down and creating waves like if it were floating in a pool.

tube or tire is best guess so far.

Well just going with the bananas. What if we have to pick bananas out of a tree that is 5' tall

u know w/o any editing u can c a head from an animation

I'm guessing that the challenge requires robots to move around very heavy manholes worth 5 points each. Simple enough!

I've been trying to reverse the reflection back off the innertube, but POV-Ray is not the easiest thing to debug.

some one played with the color and got a banana out of the bottom right corner, it was clear as day, it looked like a banana. if you play with the color some more you see on the right side what looks like a pic of a human player standing outside the field..

Sanddrag admitted that the banana was fake, he added it himself.

This might be an interesting game. But I think the meaning is a little deeper than that.
In past years you had to think out side the box, Maybe that's true this year too.
