Consider for a minute the solutions to last year's clues -- who could without a doubt describe the game as it was, after the game was released, based on the clues provided and solved beforehand?? That whole "A ROSE KISSED..." poem, what did this have anything with pyramids and frisbees over general speculation or vague correlations?
I think you're reading too much into it. People never guess the whole game-- what would be the fun in that? They guess just enough that we can go back after kickoff and tie it all back together.

Here's a list going back to 2010 of game hints and correct (and important) guesses. If the fancy takes me, I might go back further later.

2013:
Smaller Robot, 3-color game pieces http://www.chiefdelphi.com/forums/sh...8&postcount=51

2012:
Guesses it's a small ball game http://www.chiefdelphi.com/forums/sh...5&postcount=40
Guesses there are multiple goals, and it's like Aim High http://www.chiefdelphi.com/forums/sh...7&postcount=19

2011:
Literally first post is guessing that all three shapes of the FIRST logo will be used in the game http://www.chiefdelphi.com/forums/sh...04&postcount=2
Post guessing that the game will involve climbing a pole http://www.chiefdelphi.com/forums/sh...55&postcount=4
2010:
Soccer ball, part is a ball return mechanism http://www.chiefdelphi.com/forums/sh...5&postcount=40
