Even if I've guessed right this tells us nothing about the game pieces, but it would be awesome to see some designs for robots clambering over obstacles.

This is the only thing that comes to mind for me:

Like you said, a hard to navigate playing field, sorta like being on mars/moon, with a bunch of bumps and craters in the ground. Robots use the new Andymark 8" pneumatic wheels to traverse the field.

No idea about game pieces, and the space theme is already taken by Lunacy, so this is probably not the case.

Good thinking though!
