This also would explain the replacement of the '99 game footage, sort of symbolizing a replacing of alliances, which were first in '99.
This is completely different from that theory, but I think the game piece will be some sort of inner tube, since the '97 game and '99 game both used that shape.

Check this out:
3 allainces with 2 robots each, a game like 1997. Item D in the kickoff-kit contains allainces flags, representing your allaince. Each team will discover its allaince only in the begining of the match. A fair competition will be - that your teammate is always on the other side of the field. Item C is tubing!.
How's that?
1999 is the first year with allainces. In the frc game hint video FIRST replaced 99' footage with a 97' game. Somebody mentioned it in frank's blog post, and frank replied - "whoops." - which means
it was not by mistake.
99' was the first year of the allainces 2vs2, but we already have a 3vs3 and a total of 6 teams on each match - which might be changed to 2vs2vs2. Somebody mentioned here that FIRST changed the name of the elimination matches to 'playoffs' - which supports the idea. By replacing its footage in the game hint video they tell us 99' is somehow connected to 97' and both somehow connected to 2015.
Both 99' and 97' game objects are tubes, which may tell us that this year game object will be, as well, tubes!.
I bet the name of 2015 game will include the word "change".
