Time for an analysis:

  • 2v2 - Maybe they're just saying 5 to throw us off (as always)
  • 2v3 - Unbalanced teams, yet still plausible. The team of 2 might get extra points to balance out the lack of a 3rd robot.
  • 3v3 - Again, they could be trying to throw us off.
  • 2v2v1 - Few options here. Two alliances and a lone team fighting to win. The lone team could potentially be a mercenary working for whatever alliance they feel like, or the points gained by the lone bot could be added to both alliances.
  • 2.5v2.5 - Perhaps we have 3v3, yet one random robot gets disabled every 20 seconds, and another is "unfrozen"

Hmm...
  • Shovel - A lifting mechanism for pickup sticks perhaps?
  • Snow/Ice - Lets see... a shovel picks up snow in winter. Maybe we have a sled or even CURLING on snow/ice?

Two words pop out here: seeing and heights. Seeing could be a reference to the reappearance of either the CMUcam or Infared. Heights could mean a multi-leveled game platform or a hill on the field or a raised part of the field.
