My first thought was, is this supposed to be like an animated Engineering version of Game of Thrones?
However, I think this whole Walt Disney Imagineering (henceforth refereed to as WDI or Imagineering) & FIRST partnership is great. As a FRC alum and a giant Disney Parks/WDI fan/geek, I love seeing two things I love come together.
Far warning to all, WDI is just as secretive as the FRC game design committee, but a hell of a lot more elaborate. Having been a Cast Member this past summer, I can tell you that everything there has a very elaborate backstory. During the orientation (On With the Show) for the park I worked at (Hollywood Studios/MGM Studios), they spent 15+ minutes talking about the backstory of the building at the front of the park that serves as Guest Relations, Sid's. Why did they do this? To point out the fact that they care about the story and the details for every singe thing there, whether it's the Guest Relations building, a restaurant (Mama Melrose's), or why there's giant dinosaur footprints near the lake (each of these they spent 15+ minutes talking about).
Why should you care? Because most of the stories they told didn't have much to do with the final product. Similar to FRC clues, you usually look back and realize "Oh, that make sense". So, what I'm saying is that it's pretty unlikely that this teaser has an immediate and direct connection. More than likely, this is just the beginning of an extremely elaborate storyline that we can't even predict where it is going to end.
Oh and just remember to take your time this season and "let the concrete dry". You don't want to end up with a
Disco Yeti (sorry WDI, especially Joe Rohde, but I feel like this is a great example of when you should double check everything and take the extra time to make sure it's right).
