I just understood the banana reference.

The shovel show was at the highwire gallery. There will be a wire stretching across the field.

There will be some sort of object (football or pool noodle) hanging from the wire, which the robots will have to pick.

Terry in Terry Hall is similar to Tammy in Tammy Tremble (which is where the baton reference has come from), the song by terry hall mentions bananas and the line "freshly picked for me," this was pointed out above by nycpunk. This reinforces the idea that scoring objects will be hanging from a wire strung across the field.

Now, Lavery's frame from the animation...there's obviously water. In my opinion there are two possible interpretations of this: 1) there will be a trough filled with water under the wire that the scoring objects are hung from, or 2) there will be some sort of object to make getting directly under the wire impossible (or just really hard). This object may be green and could be a raised platform with no sides and a slippery surface. My guess is that each side of the field only has one access ramp at the edge of the field which is colored green for the camera during autonomous.

Now where to go from here...I'd hate to press my luck in sucessfully predicting the game. There will be a goal above the wire which will be the maximum scoring goal, however goals will only count if the objects hanging from the wire are used to score - and yes, half the objects will be colored for each alliance. There will be a goal for each alliance on the opposite alliance's side that accepts footballs. The alliances will start out with the maximum number of footballs, just like they did with tetras, and the robots will be loaded by human players or by autoloaders, just like last year.

I think i'm starting to stretch it, but I still think that there will be scoring objects hung from a wire stretching across the width of the field.

edit: There is a strong possibility that there will be 1 green scoring object directly under the high goal which can only be scored during autonomous.
