Re: Official 2005 Clue Thread

OK how's this:

2 hexagonal fields
If you take the current 48' long playing field, plus the length of the drivers stations and bisect it - you could fit 2 hexagon fields in that same space.
NOTE: these 2 fields from above would look like Hexagonal sunglasses.

These 2 fields are run simultaneously. On each field are 3 teams competing against the other fields 3 teams, hence 6 teams running at once. Each field has teams working together hence the amethyst (purple) blue red mix.

In "between" these 2 fields are the drivers stations "you and me". I guess 3 stations facing the center on each field.

We are assembling a "pi" (pie) against the clock and the other field. 3 wedge pieces, then doing something else, but all this against the clock, we have to hit a button to stop the timer to indicate the task is complete, and "we" beat the other field "you". Drivers are back to back, going as fast as they can.

We're going to be building smaller bots this year. Maybe that's why we're getting less motors.
