Wuh huh huh hoo!
The Scout on getting a Robo Community Crate Key

The Pile of Robo Community Crate Key Gifts is an action item that, when used, gives a Robo Community Crate Key to up to 23 other people on the same server as the user. The Pile of Robo Community Crate Key Gifts can only be used once, and everyone on the server will be notified of your generosity.

If a server has a player limit greater than 24, a Robo Community Crate Key will be given to the first 23 players that connected to the server. Similarly, if the server has a player limit less than 24, it will only give out one Robo Community Crate Key to each player. The user of the tool will never receive a key from their own Pile of Robo Community Crate Key Gifts.

Trivia

The Pile of Robo Community Crate Keys Gifts was used for fraud by players who had used stolen credit cards to buy the Pile of Robo Keys. They filled a server with there friends/traders, and they would use as many as they bought filling everyone in the server with a large number of keys and then they went off to sell them as fast as possible. The reason they could do this instantly is that the keys didn't have a trade hold unlike the pile of keys at the time, the credit card company charges back the money, so valve had to remove the keys from players inventory and the "scammers" got off with there unusuals, stranges, special items, etc. Pile of keys now have a trade hold on each of the keys now and was fixed in the November 21, 2017 Patch.
