In support of releasing software kit sooner. Here are my reasoning.

1. Game specific examples/sample codes is a very small part of the entire development kits. It can be released during kickoff with relative ease.

2. Doing it prior to kickoff enables FIRST to spread out the network bandwidth demand, making it easier for teams to get the manuals and rules efficiently. Thousands of big downloads can really slow things down.

3. 'Leaking' a little bit of the game is actually good for generating excitement and fun.

I hope FIRST would consider this.
