We all know the logo of FIRST is a triangle, circle, and square. Let's review the quasi-recent past games and look for a pattern:

- 2002's Zone Zeal: the game piece was a (soccer) ball
- 2003's Stack Attack: the game piece was a box -- a square
- 2004's FIRST Frenzi: the game piece was a (kick) ball
- 2005's Triple Play: the game piece was a tetra -- a triangle
- 2006's Aim High: the game piece was a (poof) ball
- 2007's Rack 'N Roll: the game piece was an inner tube -- a circle
- 2008's OverDrive: the game piece was a (track) ball

Could the 2009 game continue the pattern and employ a box of some sort? (Maybe a "fish tank" ? )
Look more closely. Ball, odd object, ball, odd object. It'll be probably be an odd object. This pattern has continued since at least 1997 (inner tube), 1998 (ball), 1999 ("floppies", a disk), 2000 (ball), 2001 (odd game).

Now whether or not it's a square remains to be seen.
