well except of course as a game hint... but that is very costly compared to a simple post here at CD by lavery - so I deem it unlikely to be sent out early solely as a hint piece.

it is so costly to ship this out to all the teams, for a hint that's not really supposed to help you find out what the game is.

now that we have concluded it cannot be a hint (i hope ) we can also tackle other scnerios:

1)it is a field piece they added at the last minute: unlikely because they plan the game very well and wouldnt just forget something or add something in the last minute.

2)it is a piece for the robot they just developed: well there is still time to send it out to the various kickoff locations and distribute it in a very orderly way and make sure everyone gets one instead of just sending it off to every single mentor....

so sorry, but I can't rationalize this being what you say it is Joe

DON'T FORGET ... FedEx is a major sponsor - they probably shipped these all for free.

Also, I JUST recieved this FIRST email blast ...
