0 point boxes, 2 point boxes, 4 point boxes, and 8 point boxes (made up values of course)
Each box has a specific IR frequency. What we must do is look for the boxes and decide which box is worth the most, pick it up, and place it in a sand box type pit in the center of the field (going off the hint of the new game doesn't require much field setup).

So... to make it simple: Autonomous mode starts, robots go out, find the box of the right color worth the most points, pick it up, place it in the pit.

Regular match: All the boxes look the same except some are red and some are blue (due to alliances). The robots must go up to the boxes, determine the value, and decide whether or not to score it.

EDIT: The reason I selected boxes is because we haven't had them in a llloooonnnnggg time...

Wow! I like this theory... it synchs with some of what I've heard and some speculations. It also sounds fun and focuses on the programming end more, which I'm sure would make it a unique challenge.
