Not quite. According to the trends in game design, the tube game is every four years and will have to wait until next year.

Re: 2014 Game
A few things I think we're due for:

1) Balls. The every other year pattern holds?
2) Bulk loading. Haven't seen since Lunacy. Rebound Rumble game
pieces maxed out at 3.
3) Manipulator arms. Not popular since Logomotion. Time to break out some
4-bar linkages!

I also wouldn't be surprised to see an upper limit on output RPM of robot elements to ensure we don't have a 3rd consecutive "shooter" year.

All good points...
FWIW, 2013 marks the 100th anniversary of the International Tennis Federation. Factors in favor of tennis balls include: high visibility; cheap, readily available game piece; satisfy points 1&2 above.

It wouldn't be exclusively "Robot Tennis"; the very first year of FIRST, the game piece was Tennis Balls. We could have a zone scoring type game with herding Tennis Balls.

Well this years "hints" or what we believe to be hints do point back to something in the past.
