Three hexagons up front. The dragon has three heads. Azor Ahai confirmed.

Midevil theme could be there to throw us off. Tug of war? Defend the homeland? They show team building bot in daylight. Then robot has functioning lights in a dark sky with lightening. Why lights?? Perhaps played in partial darkness?? And the lightening - Back to the Future ????

I think the alliances are going to be bigger this! This one looks epic! Better than the last few games

[Monochron]

I'll throw in my speculation as well. I'm thinking some sort of asymmetric game-type or field. One alliance is assaulting the other's Stronghold. Possibly switch mid-math ala 2005 or possibly even (though unlikely) playing a whole match on one side.

Capture the flag type game fits . . . but I'm not sure it could be done in a way that isn't just robots spinning their wheels against each other for two and a half minutes.

Okay! After watching about 17 times, I think I can agree with most about the capture the flag idea. Maybe it'll be like racing to complete a checklist ASAP and then hanging you team flag high. Griffins vs. Dragons

Wouldn't it be great if FIRST Stronghold actually is a mobile game that launches on January 9? The actual game would then be something different.

@Everyone saying that no defense is staying: Frank told me at the 2015 RI District that a lack of defense is not a trend in future games.

From the dramatic shot of the tower, it looks almost like a king-of-the-hill arrangement.

What if every alliance has a different goal to achieve making everyone have to make choices on what mechanisms to focus on

tl;dr
Lunacy on carpet? Defend the trailers.

Shall we keep in mind that a 'flag' (an object) can be represented by a variety of other game pieces? Even a ball can represent a 'flag'.

Replace the green and pink things on the 2009 trailer with a flag and you might be on to something. Maybe the trailer is also styled like a castle tower.

Waited to post.

I'm gonna go with Flag Football.

While teams in general disliked Lunacy, its game theory was interesting. While you were taking the time to score, you could be scored upon in your trailer.

FIRST logo pieces will be triangles (flags).
Each Robot will have a flag attached to it that can be taken and scored.

I'm still stuck on the Game Stop hint that Frank supplied.
Co-opertition based upon ending the game early with the alliance members agreeing to hit the E-Stops. Your score gets multiplied.
You may be losing the battle, but improve your rank with a score multiplier by calling it a day.
