So there are thousands of instances of weight reduction on roads, it is likely a coincident that picture was found.
If trucks have to be lighter in the winter because the roads are colder, then maybe the robots will have to be lighter because of certain field conditions. It could be that heavier robots won't be able to complete a certain task, or they'll want to make it more difficult to drive a certain way by making them lighter. If that were true, then that would certainly be a portion of the game worth noting via a clue. Given that, the FRC GDC could have easily known these were already signs, making them the perfect clue.
