you may be interested in the sub forum FRC Game Design. Included in here are many topics about what may be in next years game. Generally the game is not revealed until January so people do not get a head start.
Several topics include guesses about the 2006 game, including many hint from Dave. (hovercraft's, and the English Channel)
this thread is about the official hint for 2005, but makes many keen observaions about possible connections between the games from previous years
