Just like the balls every other year cycle?

You can add 2008 to that year list(nascar), but I think that the idea it will relate to an event for that year connects to being able to explain it to non-FIRSTers(based on earlier post). A game based on soccer or traversing the moon is far simpler to explain to people then for example Rack-n-Roll where the whole ramp, moving rack, spoilers, and vertically and horizontally aligned game pieces made the game more difficult to explain to an outsider what they were seeing.
