Will Blue be defending the center of a field or will the challenge be to claim the center? Finally, the body is filled with white spots, could this suggest many small "game pieces" in the field?

On that same note, take a look at the inverted image... When you flip it it turns blue. Perhaps there is something, as mentioned, to having to control a portion of the field. Maybe the field randomly decides whether red or blue is offense / defense. Perhaps a offense/defense period like the one in 2006?? I think that was the year, I dont remember.
There was another person who mentioned this, and I agree with it, that even if the physical size of the field does not change (I doubt it would) I would find it near impossible that there would be absolutely no changes to the surfaces. Especially with challenging teams by providing the camera and having access to this new system, some change to the field surface besides the challenge structure is very likely. As for game pieces, the last year was balls, the year before that rings. 2006 was balls again and 2005 was triangles. Because I do not believe that a fish would be a game piece, maybe they will go back to cubes? And 1 other note, pools are out of the question, but what about some sort of tank where maybe robots can reach over the edges of the field and retrieve something from a tank of some sort as a bonus? Seems far-fetched, but you never know.
