Typically, those rules are only when there is a "limited" supply of game pieces, so either it's necessary to keep teams from hoarding right off the bat, or it's to make sure that the supply doesn't run out too fast.
I must admit that I'm somewhat disappointed to find that the rumored robot is just that. A rumor. I actually heard the rumor back when I started in 2006. I figured it must have happened a few years before that. At least now I finally know that its a rumor.

Thanks,
Jason
