Finding a niche will be very difficult.

On another note, just because the robots "look" the same doesn’t mean they will be the same. The crucial autonomous mode and the prospect of scoring on the other side of a goal where you can't see, present daunting programming challenges.

I think this will be a great year for software and sensor innovation.
I'm very sorry to say this but although many people will design many new robots. The winning teams will do research with previous games that had similar concepts etc. and maybe pick and choose wisely from old robots and than make their own of those ideas. I do not think that this game is challenging because of this reason. Last year for instance we had not had a game similar to this but this year this is basically a FIRST KICK OFF '9? Version 2.
