I don't know what this means, but it is an very interesting element indeed

I don't know about you but i am sure starting to be afraid of what Dave and the GDC came up with this year
FIRST isn't the only tenant at 200 Bedford Street...

Could this order of two thousand mailboxes possibly be from one of the other tenants?

Could this be a mailbox in an unconditional sense, such as a box that gets mailed? For example, storage totes for the KOP?

Can this be a giant joke?

What if these mailboxes were these? 2000 mailboxes wouldn't seem that unusual if they were this type of mailbox.



I have doubts that FIRST that FIRST would use mailboxes as a game piece. If anyone has ever seen what snowplows do to mailboxes, I don't think [traditional] mailboxes would survive long in a match.



What if the mailboxes were the large ones like on street corners? Does this mean that the human player will be inside the robot/mailbox, a la the Homer-bot from The Simpsons?
