4 Drivers 2017?

Disclaimer: I didn't see that anyone else started a thread about this latest "hint". I apologize if there is already another thread for this topic. Anyway...

So... Am I the only one who noticed a bit of a difference in the re-designed buttons this year? I mean, besides design changes. If you don't know what I'm referencing, I'll put a link below.
Usually, each team receives a total of 5 buttons at each regional they attend - 1 Coach, 1 Safety Captain, and 3 Drive Team. However, the picture posted in the FIRST Blog displays 1 Coach, 1 Safety Captain, and 4 Drive Team Buttons.



I see several possible explanations:

1. There will be an extra "driver" this year. Likely another human player.

2. We will receive an extra (backup?) button.

3. The were just trying to cause speculation and confusion.

What do you think? Is this a undisguised hint? Or something less exciting?
