HEATHEN AGE: Heathen means non-religious, and atheism is on the rise today, so I interpret this to mean modern times. Baseball is a fairly modern sport.

GO FRAUD: This is the most confusing one. It might mean that you have to foul other robots in order to win (perhaps a certain number of fouls are allowed per game?). Not sure here.

KEEN YORK WEAVER: Jeff Weaver was a pitcher who played for the New York Yankees. You need keen eyes to be a pitcher. Baseball game.

BUT WAIT I JUST REALIZED THIS: when I think of baseball fraud, I think of the infamous Chicago Black Sox, where the players conspired to lose the World Series. They did this by prearranging bets with mafia guys. In other words, you're going to need to talk beforehand with your alliance partners (because of the modular systems for different tasks) to see how you can profit the most from the match.

Boom.

Baseball game.
Why didn't anybody respond on this post? I really like what he did. I'm a new kid on the block, second season coming up, so I don't know how much deepness/work FIRST puts in these hints.

But there are a lot of theories behind the baseball idea and this confirms it as well.

Coincidence? Maybe... Reliable theory? Maybe..
