Re: Official 2005 Clue Thread

After much thought and many hours of sleeping on this and thinking about this hint i've come to one conclusion. First has given us a hint that is similar to last year, but related to a different topic, i think this hint refers to scoring methods and alliances more than field design or layout.
Yes it does tell you some of the layout in my opinion. I think by what it says that it will be as it wasin the 'old days', a hexagon field. We will once again have alliances in my opinion. and we will have many ways to score.
I know that this has been said in the thread previously but this is part of my idea that we will have a hexagonal field. They will but in 3 aliances, id like to think that each alliance will have 2 teams on it, but i'm not so sure with the threes, because obviously FIRST is liking threes. So does that mean its going to be a 1 V 1 V 1, or a 3 V 3 V 3, i don't know but that just sounds very choatic.
The Amethyst colored sun glasses i don't know refer to a blue between 2 alliances as much as it refers to a 3rd, 'neutral' alliance. My belief of the third alliance comes from the scoring factor. Amethyst can't be used as Red + Blue = Violet, because if you add the scores in qualifing it is okay, however you would run into trouble scoring the elemination matches because everyone would be getting the same score. which brings in if this is a hint to a blurred boundry does that mean its going to be just one big alliance as 2001 was, jeesh i hope not it wasn;t as fun or nearly enthusiastic for the kids as it has been. (well atleast not for me that is.)
I think all the threes refer to 3 ways to score. as far as i know since 2001 there have only been 3 ways to score in each game. 2004 you had small balls, big balls, and hanging. 2003 you had boxes, stacks, and hill. 2002 you had balls, goals, and goals and balls. 2001 you had the endzone, time, and balls. So i think this means once again it will be a three way scoring ability.
The something between Pi, You, Me. If you look closely you notice that the 'o' is in the center, however if you look more closely you will see that they are all SEPERATED by a comma. this leads me to believe once against that you are different from me, and pi is different from both you and me in terms of a boundary.
Also i think that there is going to be a neutral zone where no points can be scored or a place where robots can't go, but need to, or something like that.

thats my 2 cents.
