Hint 1: An infrared receiver capable of learning four signals.
Hint 2: 3 high precision numbers, 2 suggesting GPS location of Copley Square and a third with multiple possible solutions.
Connections to Paul Revere, the Revolutionary hero, and music (Paul Revere and the Raiders, the Beasty Boys and Greatful Dead's "Truckin").
It's "Dance Dance
Revolution!" The robots will be SQUARE Dancing to the IR signals!
Sorry, my wife made me put this one in!
I really like the idea of traffic cones as game pieces and "Coupling Squares" as a game name. Even if they are not part of this year's game, look for them to show up in the future!
