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.
hmm... I'm not sure... I see what you're saying... But I think when they say Pi they are referring to cirlces or 3.14............... Or how about like 2 vs 2... One red team and one blue team per field maybe?
