The three of those are my guess as well.
I've been keeping up with this thread and have a few observations/assumptions:
- The 60" box isn't fabric.
- Pool noodles aren't in the kit.
- FIRST wouldn't waste resources shipping teams items that are readily available (COTS) unless they have been donated
- The 60" box is a set of items. As others have said, there is no need for a 60" box for items that could be packed in more efficient ways. These items are most definitely close to 60" in length. Frank likes to troll us but not to the point of spending more money due to inefficient packing.
- Foam balls don't ship compressed (2006, 2012)
- Inflatable things don't ship inflated (2004, 2007, 2008, 2011, 2014)
- There will not be 3 alliances or more than 6 robots in a match. FIRST has made too much of an investment in the current field perimeter, including fields owned by districts.
