In a word, no. And I'd highly doubt it if he would reveal it at nationals. Nationals is about FIRST, not about IT. Dean wants Nationals to be about FIRST and he wouldn't try to distract from it by revealing IT there. It would be horrendous for FIRST if everyone was there to see the unveiling of IT but had to put up with the "annoyance" of the FIRST Competition. So, basically, if and when it's released, it won't be at nationals. Dean may bring it there if it's already released but I highly doubt that'll be the place the world first gets to see what it is.

Matt,
Contrary to what you said, I think Dean's intention was to reveal "it" at nationals next year to bring more attention and publicity to FIRST itself. Although you said that the unveiling of it would distract and maybe even detract from the nationals experience, I think it would only help FIRST by increasing interest in FIRST itself. just my 0.02...
