There is one problem and that is why would they create a game for next years kickoff.

But they are!

Yes, I'm serious. They wrapped up the game design process for 2012 some time ago (barring minor tweaks) and began on 2013 right away. Bill has mentioned this on his blog a few times.

This article may be of interest. (From CTFIRST's twitter)

Just to be the devil's advocate here, perhaps that is for a light show at World's or at the kickoff?

I have a feeling that the competition is going to resemble Aim High in some way, with robots shooting balls into the air. Maybe instead of goals on either side it is a bucket like thing in the middle that is ~10 ft in the air, with 2 separate sides for scoring.

Actually, it means 'it pleases me,' there is no Spanish verb for 'like.'

¿Por qué estamos discutiendo gramática español? There is a game to figure out!

porque, we speak English here and if your going to speak in a foreign language, do it properly (though I haven't noticed any forum rules about using English...)

Having goals 10 ft in the air sounds interesting, but presumably there would be some way to score things without having to reach that far off the ground.

I'd love another Aim High sort of game, for 2 reasons:
1) It's a great game with great ways of scoring
2) I get to see the cool robot 971 makes at SVR. Your team is on my "Robots to look for" list, along with a few others.

um. literally yes. but to most it means i like.
so but really. theres a game to figure out.

Anyone else noticing all the hints to light? the "flash" updates. The "luminaries" are called out on facebook. The kinect uses a camera. I'm guessing the end game will somehow block the drivers from seeing their robots by pulling a curtain or something similar in front of them.

We brought that idea up last year. Interesting possibilites for an end game that way. Equally crazy would be to put the drivers all behind a curtain (or in another room) to drive the robots.

I would love a game like that! A combination of Aim High, my favorite FRC game, and Hot Shot, my favorite FTC game (gee, I wonder why I would like that one! )!
