i think we're over-analyzing too much. i mean, the square makes sense. the fact that it may point to a light post with 4 lights (i think i read that above somewhere) may just simply mean that there is 4 areas on the field, or 4 IR signals on the field that the robot must pick up on to do some kind of task. i also like the post on rings or shapes that are off-balance that we have to move. ...
....i'm thinking too much...

It is either that, or we are hammering the wrong nail.
Personally I feel people are focusing on the easiest possible solution to the hint, and in years past, that has failed miserably... just miserably.
Then again, I could be wrong: the fact that the large building by the coordinated spot is highly reflective seems real juicy as far as game containing content. I figure there could be some IR reflectors to turn 1 IR beacon into many IR sources (A beacon in the center has # of mirrors surrounding it such that the reflectors are positioned directly above or next to some key game object).
Then there are the obelisks... suppose we have 2 beacons like in 2004, which send beams to the corners of the fields... nah... too complex. The obelisks seem like a scoring objective more than anything.
The tortoise and the hare: end of game challenge... something of that nature. 2004 (again) had the 50 point chin-up, which required more torque, lower gear ratios, and more time.
I'm just throwing more cents into the jar... I'll keep reading.
