drive by and make a pickup on Minnetonka in Minnetonka; place objects (probably colored or different shaped) into the other robot and vice versa (like dump trucks) then head to the field on Evergreen in Dover. end the match on a certain area of the field (possibly a different color than the rest of the carpet) {white cliffs of Dover in the English Channel, sailors would know that they were almost home when they saw them}

I think this has some good ideas. But I found something that may help support it. For a long time FIRST has used WPI to host videos and stuff for volunteers, but also videos from conferences. So, I looked around for a while and found the '08 workshops. I have no idea when these were, or who was able to attend them, but they show the cRIO so they were probably over the summer or something. (
http://first.wpi.edu/Workshops/2008CON.html) Of the presentations there are lots that have the presentation linked, but also a few that dont. For example, the presentation called "Underwater FIRST! What if Your Next Project Takes You to the Edge of Your Comfort Zone?" does not link a video. Why would FIRST / NI have a video about FIRST Underwater? I still think a water game is not it, but then why would they have this workshop? I am not making it up, check it out at the link above. The rest of the videos seem 'normal' and reasonable activities for frc teams, but this one sticks out to me as an outlier.
Anyways, as another idea for the locations, does anyone know the team numbers for a team that is based in each of these spots? If there even is one? Perhaps combining them will give coordinates for something since they have used coordinates before? or, would the letters of the states which have a city with that name be re-arrange to form a word or phrase? Just some thoughts...
