news of this Hint #1 broke on Thursday 12/4 and it was officially released on Friday 12/5. Exactly 1 lunar cycle before kick-off. Coincidence? Yeah, probably.

Oh, I doubt thats a coincidence at all. This definetaly furthers my conviction that the most important aspect of this clue is the fishe's name. Especially since it lacks any anatomically or behaviorally interesting specialties. THe only thing particullarly interstiing about the moon is that has allways been an objective for mankind, a.k.a "Shoot for the Moon." This, combined with the detail that this fish is a loner, and a prized catch, suggests to me that a possibility is:
There, along with other possible ways to score, will be a central, though difficult goal, or task that will be either highly valuable, or change the shift of points dramatically. However, unlike past central objectives, only one robot / team will be able to accomplish /attain it in a single round.
