I just thought of something. I have been really skeptical of people's "conclusions" based on the gift that was given to the Dean's List winners (they've come up with some pretty crazy stuff, mostly involving water... lol). I think that everyone's taking it too literally.
However I think it could shed some light (no pun intended) on a hockey game. What if the pucks glowed in the dark or had a decently bright light on them? This would help the viewers see the pucks as well as the robot operators. It could also be set up in a way that it glows in a color that the robots can track.

Also, I don't see any way that hockey could be played with only one puck. FIRST never makes sports games with the standard number of gamepieces. There would almost certainly be lots of pucks on the field.
