Well this obviously must be a game hint.

I know I saw 3 bottles sitting in from of them....

Just to get it out of the way...bottles of water! There, it's out there and no more needs to be said about water games...forever I hope.

Green background. There will be a green alliance.

I was thinking about a game with 3 alliances playing.

It would solve the problem of not getting enough matches in per regional/event

Having 9 teams play every round would increase circulation.

A 3 color alliance game would be detrimental to our reversible bumpers though, but perhaps the concept could be applied to make triple reversible bumpers lol.

Looking at the metadata for the picture, the artist and camera model is set to "There Are No Game Clues In This Photo". Typical GDC trolling...

Also, maybe it's just me, but the red light on the right side of the picture looks a bit weird. Probably not relevant though.

clearly the chairs their sitting on are the game pieces

I know... we have virtual game pieces! The robots will operate in front of a green screen, and we'll have to interact with game pieces the same way a weatherman does, by looking at a monitor to see where they are!

Seriously? Woody's in a tie and waistcoat.
That's your hint right there!

I beg to differ. Check out his (lack of) sneaks.

So like...a simulation?


I'm a little worried now I might actually be right.

Imagine trying to design a robot to pick up chairs and throw them into a goal, now theres a game piece!

[BBray_T1296]

Also, notice how there is a thin green rug underneath them.

Almost as if the camera ran too low so they had to add more green to complete the CGI.

If you need their feet, maybe the game has something to do with the floor.

Since they have chairs, and solely for this reason, we must be able to eliminate their prescience in a water environment. But the jury is still out for regolith...

[tim-tim]

I think one of the most important things to take away from this picture, they still have not made denim boots yet.

As for the "red box" appears to be a box of Altoids.

there is also a a drain just in front of the set. More water hints...or maybe we have to cross a valley.
