So.. apart from the totes being a few pounds lighter or heavier, add one very small item. It must be a packet of instant steam!

Maybe instant snow?

That's probably the tote
One set of items, collectively, 2 in. x 2 in. x 48 in., 5 lbs.
Aluminum tubes.
One item, 8 in. x 3 in. x 7 in., 14 lbs.
Battery
One very small item.
I have no clue what this could be, or why it can't go in the tote. Maybe the KOP is locked this year and this is the key?

The predictions our team came up with were:
Regular Kit:
One set of items, collectively, 27 in. x 17 in. x 13 in., 50 lbs. = Tote
One set of items, collectively, 2 in. x 2 in. x 48 in., 5 lbs. = 4 aluminum tubes like last year
One item, 8 in. x 3 in. x 7 in., 14 lbs. = Battery
One very small item. = A button with Frank Merrick's face on it.
Rookie Kit:
One set of items, collectively, 27 in. x 17 in. x 13 in., 30 lbs. = Rookie Tote
One item, 8 in. x 3 in. x 7 in., 14 lbs. = Battery
Drive Base Kit:
One set of items, collectively, 7 in. x 7 in. x 34 in., 25 lbs. = Drive Base

These seem to be accurate. I thought the tubes could be part of a field element, but if they were in the Kit last year, probably not.

At first glance the optimist would draw the conclusion that the small item was the game piece and would point towards the "coal" theory on game pieces (small and non-spherical). But I think it is unlikely they would pack a game piece outside of the tote, as the game piece is probably the first thing to be accounted for in terms of space in the tote.
I can hope though right? :p .

Maybe dice/a die? But they're pretty inexpensive, so why only send one? Game pieces last year became damaged from being shoved in the tote, so they might be outside of it this year.

My thoughts exactly, but as someone else said it is just one item...

Possibly, if it folds up tightly.
Maybe it's a battery for the minibot or a minibot kit?
