Re: 2006 game piece?
But if you think about it, if it were FIRST why would they need 2000? It is too late to put one in every KOP (I think) and if they were for the regionals/champs, I don't think they would need that many. Because there are only a max of 7 regionals on any given weekend, and (remind me if I'm wrong) they ship the fields from one location to the next for each weekend, so they only need 7 sets.

That would be 285 mailboxes per regional! To possibly need that many, they would have to either (1) greatly increase the number of robots on the field at once or (2) significantly increase the length of the match.

And just imagine 285 mailboxes scattered around a field the size of the 2005 one... there would be no place for the robots!

Not to burst any bubbles, but this is probably for some major housing complex being built/neighborhood renovation. Or maybe it is a for construction company that needs a stockpile for many projects across the country. But you don't know who bought it, right?
