Generally, there's one thing in the year's hints (usually combined) that leads with reasonable confidence to something that could be useful if one were willing to use it: 2012 shooting, arm/tubes, soccer ball, the-year-we-don't-talk-about, IR sensor (which actually was intentionally useful) AND racing...


Thanks for asking, Rachel!

Also a major aspect with 2012 was the BOM, which included the IR sensors used for scoring, so "high speed single object automated scoring" was predicted.


Then there was the red herring this year of the IR sensor FIRST choice...
