I wake up at noon on Christmas Eve, and find tweets announcing a game hint. Looks like I won't be seeing much of my family today...

I think that this is more of an assembly of pieces, and I also agree that this is most likely a field element. Those pins on the end of the tubes look as if they would snap something into place - say, a tube of a larger diameter such as the one in the picture. The piece of lexan/whatever it may be looks like it's a separate part from the tubes.

This kind of reminds me of how the side rails from FRC fields go together, if I remember correctly (forgive me, I've only taken down a field once, and we had more important things to concentrate on while that field was being taken down).

Soooo...if you were to turn this piece so that the tubes were horizontal, and the piece of lexan faced in...and you were to add another one of those larger tubes to the end of one of them with the lexan facing in, but flipped 180 degrees...it could form some sort of a goal?

What's really throwing me off is the little bump at the top of the lexan. It reminds me of a puzzle piece. However, the bottom of it isn't shaped similarly.

Oh, and my brother said that his first impression was 'skis'. Just thought I'd throw that out there.
