 shelter areas for protection from something
 moats
 autonomous mode at end of game


Possible Lies
 underwater game (picture of waterproof control thingy hoax)
 no metal
 no fasteners


any one want to add to this list?
Oh, good. Someone made a list of things we've uncovered/guessed at. Although "lies" is a bit strong (try "hoaxes"), and the "possible" on that part should be "probable" due to reasons discussed earlier, this is a very good list and has pretty much all of the items. Now, if we just put them together, we'll force Dave to redesign the game with only 30-odd days left.

My interpretation (as may have been seen in part before):The game objects will be batons (or something similar) and/or balls. The camera will make its appearance again, possibly to aid the drivers in locating something that is hidden. Something will be released onto the field when something else is done, possibly crossing a moat. There will likely be at least one other element of a previous game (your choice which game/element). There will be autonomous at some point. One thing ommitted from the list: a difficult surface in the field somewhere, probably in the middle.

That's my somewhat crazy attempt to decipher the hints. Next?
