Re: Possibility of a flying object?
It depends on your definition of flying.
If you mean a game piece or mini-bot which is unsupported by the floor (either directly or through other condensed phase substances) for more than a couple of tenths of a second, I'd say it's almost certain. The last eleven games have encouraged or at least explicitly allowed game pieces to be launched by robots and/or thrown by human players. Triple Play was the most recent game in which throwing game pieces was prohibited for both players and robots, according to my archived rules. With the end of the teaser ending with the words "take flight", I would be more surprised if nothing in this game was allowed to "fly" than I was when the bumpers got tossed in the bin in the 2015 kickoff video.
If you mean flight that is sustained for more than about two seconds (e.g. lighter-than-air or powered flight), I'd guess 50%, or just a bit more - total guess, though.
