Re: Official FIRST STEAMWORKS Teaser and DLC Pack 1!

Stronghold teaser dialogue:

"Build your champion
Rally your kingdom
And face the challenge ahead…together!"

STEAMworks teaser dialogue:

"In a world powered by steam, a quest awaits teams of adventurers...
Unite your crew!
Ready your contraptions!
And prepare to take flight!"

Breakdown of Stronghold teaser dialogue:

"Build your champion" = refers to building a robot. "Champion" can also refer to a single knight; maybe a hint at the one "spy bot"/defense robot.
"Rally your kingdom" = probably saying that there would be alliances. Generic phrase for a medieval theme.
"And face the challenge ahead...together!" = "Challenge" refers to part of the game, just in a way that has a hidden meaning. "Together" implies alliances(which did exist) and that challenging should be done with your allies.

Only things it told were that there would be robots, alliances, and something called "challenging" that would be most effective if all teams on an alliances coopertated to challenge. (Is "coopertated" a word? )

Breakdown of STEAMworks teaser dialogue(accuracy not guaranteed):

"In a world powered by steam, a quest awaits teams of adventurers..." = "Steam" likely also refers to Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, and Mathematics. "A quest" refers to the game, and "teams of adventurers" refers to FRC teams and maybe alliances. Nothing special here.
"Unite your crew!" = Again refers to FRC teams and alliances.
"Ready your contraptions!" = Refers to building robots. "Contraption" is, according to the New Oxford American Dictionary, "a machine or device that appears strange or unnecessarily complicated, and often badly made or unsafe." Make what you will of that.
"And prepare to take flight!" = Flying game. If "...face the challenge ahead" hinted at a game element, "...prepare to take flight" means something will fly. No two ways about it. Unless..."flight" refers to escaping, stairs, or the end of a dart...wait...what was that possible game piece?
