The clues are way too obvious EVERY year. The problem is, we usually always miss the obviousness.
And if it's not a marble track, its at least a place where balls are set, like they may be placed on this "track" as a kind of "platform loading station".
I also have a feeling that this has something to do with Pipes. Like that game where you have to move the parts of the pipes to get the water flowing in the right direction. What if there is a continuous stream of "water balls" that are sent out a single "pipe" and then roll their way down pipes to "goals". We may need to form robots that can complete sections of these "pipe-ways" to get the "water balls" to "flow" into our goals, and avoid opponent's goals. Or move sections of "pipe-ways" from one place on the field to another. There may be a way for us to funnel "water-balls" to the human player, and they have better and more direct access to the goals, so maybe letting the "water-balls" drip to the floor is an option.
EDIT: And to be more grandeous with this idea, there may be some device above the player stations that is where the balls "drip" from, and they can end up going either to the left or right. So you have to do some good timing and figure out where and when the water will fall, and make good calculations to when you can make the score. I'm sure there will also be "bonus balls" scattered in the "water-balls" that will be released at a variable time.
EDIT 2: I call this game - Pipeworkx - and the X is shaped like two pipes, which is a central field element to the game.
EDIT 3: If I get this right Dave, can I be on the GDC? hahaha
