well a slice of pie (pi) forms a triangle, like a pyramid!

OK.... now that I got that off my back, I see two interpretations for the word between, one being between as something in the middle of these three things, or between as something in common.

my guess that the between refers to something in common, in this case, three. I do not think that a three on three alliance is conceivable because of all the logistic problems talked about in the the center is out topic. Saying that, I think that the three will be something to do with scoring objects, possibly three different types of things to score, or three places to score.

Also during the kickoff, Dave mentioned that the IR sensors weren't necessary this year (first Frenzy), but not the next (this 2005 season). I can imagine that the autonomous mode will be extremely important, possibly having the capability to score points during autonomous mode

just my $.02
