Amethyst = game piece shape
Baseball players = Game Name
"See" = Vision camera
Numbers clue = Alliance size

But the whole John Neun and George Burns, fit together
with the Pi clue to give the hint about the number of teams per alliance. I feel that the clue is vague enough to have many interpretations varying from very broad to very specific. During the discussion about the clue last year, many people properly hypothesized the tetrahedral theme through the whole last part of the clue.
heh, but I'm probably totally wrong anyway so....
I have mixed feelings about an autonomous mode at the end of the time, it would prove difficult to maneuver your robot into the proper place at the time the autonomous period started. I know my team has had some troubles placing our robot without a remote at the beginning of the match. Imagine teams trying to drive their robot to a specific position with the distraction of 3 other robots
.
It could be possible that autonomous mode would be something radically different where exact positioning of the robot would not be necessary. How to accomplish this though, I don't really know.
