I think the clue means that the GDC has revisited this "flop" of an autonomous mode. The game will have randomly positioned pieces for robots to locate and score during autonomous mode, like the vision tetras from Triple Play. This will give the veteran teams another chance to overcome (hurdle) what they couldn't do in 2005 (score the visions tetra)
