The endgame may involve transporting a minibot-like flag to a tower and raising it. FIRST really likes hints about endgames because they don't reveal much actual gameplay.
And who says that they will continue the trend?
If they're bringing back bumpers, expect a game where there will be some aggressive game play either robot on robot or field on robot. If there was actually a field that could do damage to robots, that may be a concern, and I wouldn't expect FIRST to do something like that.
Secondly, many are suggesting a flag as a game piece. The possible issue with this is the durability of a flag. If the game does end up being capture the flag, I expect it to be a game piece that is not the shape of a flag, but symbolizes a flag (something more durable).
