Remotes are what they used to control the under water robots that repaired the leaking well. The well was a mile under the sea, so that could be a remote location. Maybe the game will involve blindly(well, using the camera) positioning something from a difficult location?
Keep in mind that the GDC is trying to design more spectator-friendly games. Breakaway was a fantastic example of this. We'd like a game where we can bring people who've never heard of FIRST before, and they can instantly understand what is going on. A blind target game sounds slow (like fixing the oil spill) and not necessarily conducive towards audience engagement. Let's be honest, who here watched the entire feed of BP trying to fix the riser pipe?
