I highly doubt it. Cakes don't have a mind of their own. Wait... mind of their own. The robots will have to be completely autonomous this season! You sly dog! Folks, we may have Dean Kamen's army up-and-running by 2012, as scheduled.

The robots have to collect (eat) blue square objects ('cakes') that try to move away from the robots (because they don't want to be eaten).

Alternatively...

Sad=crying=tears=water

Water Game!!!!!

Add to that past years game pieces. We've seen a huge number of circular or spherical objects in the past 10 years. I think he's trying to tell us we'll have game pieces in some way related to squares (or rectangles) this year.
I think you have hit the nail on the head. Either the game pieces will be quadrangles or some other part of the field (trailers like in Lunacy) will be. I am leaning toward the game pieces. Of course, there is no reason not to have all three FIRST shapes on the field (round, triangle, square) and the cake is just the first clue.

One thing for sure, we will all go crazy (those of us who aren't already) trying to figure it out before kickoff! :D

This year we’re celebrating the 20th FRC season. If your team would like to be featured in a 4 second video during kickoff, film your original, funny wishes for a happy 20th season and watch this space. I’m looking for a way to collect your videos and will let you know when I have a place for you to post them.
Are any teams considering submitting a video? This looks like fun.

4 second tele-op

or

Controls turn on/off every four seconds (possibly on purpose)

or

4second auto

note: FTC has 40 second auto this year

4-team alliances. That's the answer. See you in January, unless you wake me up with more hint chatter. ZZZZZZZZZZZZ....

Poor Jane trying to point out the video submission, and it turns back into clue-searching.

We probably won't submit a video, since I can't even get the team together in one location before January.

That's ok, David. :) If the preseason is going to be a mix of valid information and hints of hints that are hints - then it's going to result in chaos and confusion. Maybe it's all part of the 20th celebration master plan.

Anyone count the number of people on the stairs? 16
With 4 people on a team (2 drivers, human player, coach) * 4 teams = 16 people on an alliance.

That's actually a pretty brilliant observation that fits the "4" theme so-far.
