Re: anyone have any ideas about next years game?

GDC post

The GDC has posted:

The Game Design Committee spent the weekend on the first floor here at 200 Bedford Street. We waded our way through your suggestions and have narrowed the field down to four game concepts, each with their own diabolical twist. We discussed the Coast Guard’s robotic water games with Vince Wilczynski and wondered what we could do to make this year’s game the biggest and the best in order to celebrate FIRST’s 20th anniversary.

Woodie was away on vacation, Aiden was unable to attend and Dean couldn’t join us until Sunday due to other commitments. But, Paul Lazarus brought his filming equipment and FRC staff fueled the GDC with snicker doodles, blueberry pie and the ever present Haagen-Dazs, so by Sunday we were able to build a few prototypes and begin trying out ideas. We are far from finished, but each member of the GDC walked away with something to think about before our next teleconference and we're planning for another onsite soon.

Today Dean is at the JCPenny store managers’ meeting in Texas where eight local FRC teams are introducing senior staff to the excitement of FIRST by playing a mini Breakaway tournament. I wish them all the best of luck. I’m back in my office, planning for the future and finishing up the leftover fruit and bacon.

208 days to Kickoff
See you then!
I've bolded the suspicious-sounding parts.

I think that the water game part, the waded part, and the GDC food part were red herrings, but the bacon part... Why would there be any bacon left over? That doesn't make sense... The first floor part seems unnecessary to me, maybe it's hinting at a multi-storied game?
