Anyway, here is a quick summary of the book (saw it somewhere online): That sets off a number of ideas in my mind.
1. Is there a connection in the year?
2. Those glasses are now seeming like the glasses from FLL.
3. The glasses appeared unexpectedly and in weird places. This is similar to how some people wanted autonomous mode, eh?
4. Pi: 2. any confused mixture; jumble.
This may go somewhere at some point, heh.

Now that's a neat idea! Having the autonomous mode at some unspecified time during the match to accomplish a task only accessible through autonomous would force everyone to use sensors - IR, light, sound, whatever - no more of that dead-reckonin' stuff our team, for one, uses every year.
Now, just for fun, I'm going to try to contrive a rediculous, surface level connection to the clue.

While wearing Amethyst colored glasses, John Neun gave George Burns the
following riddle: "Look closely and you will see something between Pi, You
and Me."

IF:
1. "Pi" is interpreted as "the product" as stated in earlier posts
2. "The product" is assumed to indicate the end of a match (the product of the efforts)
3. The lack of a comma between "You and Me" is interpreted such that "You and Me" are between the beginning and the end of the match
4. "You and Me" indicates the connection between George Burns and John Neun
5. The connection is assumed to be the unassisted triple plays
6. "Unassisted" can be considered loosely synonymous with "autonomous" if "autonomous"'s definition is taken as "independent"
then it can be gathered that at some undefined point during the match, teams will have an opportunity to complete a task in autonomous mode, possibly with some relation to the "three" of the triple play.

WOW! That was fun! Give me another illogical point to argue!
