Looking at the changes to this years game base kit might help us figure this thing out. Especially since it was stated that the specifics would give away the game, or not. Is there a reason they specifically say 10.5 feet per second? The post might be a secret hint. Superstructures, can be like bridges.*Can be tied to the future water game* Or maybe there is a tower that robots must drive around wearing.*Or maybe they carry a tardus* why is “long robot” and “wide” in quotations?
Also looking at the image

might uncover more clues. Not the image as much as the details under it. Is there a copy of this picture that doesn't have the black circle crossing out the bottom most number? Also color seems to be a big theme, and 3 colors in particular. The same colors in JPEG, unless I am wrong, Red Green Blue. Maybe 3 alliances, maybe instead 3 types of vision targets, in 3 different colors? If you imagine the image width and length as inches, and convert to feet, we could have rectangular field dimensions.
Well I don't know how this relate but looking at the hint
8234/57, 61126/1963, 62326/15806
under the assumption that the / means or in this case.
On the left side of the /,
the digits that repeat in 8234, there are none, 0
the digits that repeat in 61126, 1 and 6. 2 is the odd one out
the digits the repeat in 62326 is, 2 and 6. 3 is the odd one out
AND
6 repeats in both numbers. 1,2. 2,3. and 6.
Things to think about.
EDIT: No one seems to have read all the way through, and I understand why so here is the important part that I would like attention brought too.
I think there is some reason why they said easier to attach superstructures to base. They didn't say mount, attach. Something in this game might do with ... o dear everything is falling into place. The lunacy references and the recycling of past games. It might just be a game similar to lunacy where you attach something to your robot, like a superstructure 0-0 *because that is descriptive*! Maybe the three colors represent three different types of recycling, like paper, glass etc. Each robot in the alliance has a different bin attached to them like in lunacy, and we need to put the game pieces in their proper bin. there is probably only 2 of each type, and the scoring is either 0, 1, or 2 properly recycled. Which ties in with their feet in the image (because feet are important!) 6 game pieces per alliance.
well ok the whole recycling game might not happen, but
reusing the idea of attaching something to your bot, like in lunacy is probably a thing. Explains why they wont tell us the full details about whats what with the base. Could be anything we attach though, maybe we haul other robots around in a co-op like event.
