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

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...

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.

What's the black person-shaped poster thing in the back?

Altoids game!

No, seriously: This looks as ordinary as can be, and most likely* is not any kind of game hint. It's just 3 guys in front of a green screen. As to why they published it, perhaps they just want to give a sense of perspective as to how far in advance these kind of things are done.

Or maybe they're just messing with us Or maybe they just want to rub it in that THEY know the game and we do not...

If regolith ever makes a return, I will jump out of a window.

Can we just never repeat any element of the 2009 game ever again? Please?

Agreed^ (about 2009) I didn't really care for the game that year

There was no 2009. There wasn't a competition, there were no regionals, and we definitely did not build a robot.

I share your hare of regolith but I think the trailers were fun and wouldn't mind a similar thing.
