You and I are on the same page with that statement!

The disk you linked to is a "Soccer" disk. That said, I think it could VERY EASILY be used in a FIRST game. Kinda get's the juices flowing just thinking about the possibilities!

Both appear to be very accurate observations for the 3"X3"X60" package.

It could also be something as simple as a part donated by a sponsor.
A set of these rails with some packing material could very easily be in there.
