Good work gyroscopeRAPTOR on the pi thing!
One possible reason for using "pi" as part of the hint, maybe each team gets one of
these in this year's KoP.
As far as the "DINNER MISSED", I don't know from Bill's Dec 20, 2012 blog who from the FRC staff was missing. An older list of FRC staff appears in an
April 27, 2011 blog but there are multiple different names on the two lists.
