After reading the enitre thread, all 21 pages!
First off:

Then

The Eva in uncle tom's cabin talks about drowning, So Water Game!
But all jokes aside:
The picture is reversed, today is the winter solstice the clock gets reversed, today is 12/21 which is reversed, and this is '11 which is reversed!
The autonomous is at the end or the game switches or reverses some how, maybe like the offense defense in Aim High
I like the idea of the bonus for the robot locomotion limbs, just note the pnuematic muscle only contracts about two inches at 60 psi
I also like the idea of a second elevated field, maybe something to pull back and forth for a multiplier or release, mini robots on top, or an overhead railway system
Whatever the game is and whatever this hint means, I am now very excited for the new season!
Only 18 more days and a few really long speeches until we know if we were right!
Edit: I just missed number 316 my team's number!
