Logo Motion: you have to get objects in goals that are somehow related to a moving FIRST logo. Maybe lights go on and off, or goals open and close. Or maybe the goals - shaped like circle, square and triangle - move around.

Edit: I think the train angle is completely a red herring.
Thats not a bad idea. Maybe there are lights above the goals like in 2007 that go off and on and each team has 3 goals: 1 for scoring triangle game pieces, 1 for circle game pieces, and 1 for square game pieces. But you can only score points when the logo above the goal is lit up(of course in autonomous all the goals would be lit up). Building a robot to score 3 different game pieces in a match, wouldnt that be a treat to build.

To build off this idea. Maybe it would be split into time slots within the match more like 2006, where triangles can get scored during the first period, then the circles, then the squares, then all 3. IF you did end up doing that, though, you would have to raise the points up more and more for the harder objects to score. Like circles would be worth 1pt, then squares worth 2pts and triangles worth 3pts, etc...
