Re: **FIRST EMAIL**/FRC Game Hint #2

Whether or not the first two numbers are in fact the lat/lon coordinates of Copley Square in Boston I don't know. I do very much doubt that the third number is an elevation, bearing, or range because who would ever carry any of those 3 to 6 decimal places. That is just insane in any unit of measure. Lat/Lon yes, elevation, bearing, or range no I don't think so.

I think there is some significance to all 3 numbers being carried to 6 decimal places and am wondering more and more if the first two numbers are in fact NOT lat/lon but just the first two numbers in some sort of math problem. Maybe a positive, negative, positive, negative, ... sequence?

I fear we are all getting tunnel vision on those coordinates and reading to much into Copley Square. If it is in fact a reference to Copley Square I think it may be as simple as the shape of the square from above is like the rectangular field and there with be something of 4 in the very center (like the rack last year). The "something of 4" will be controlled by or consist of something to do with the 4 commands of the IR receiver. Also, if it is Copley Square then I still like the thought of Trinity Church as a reference to alliances of three teams again this year and/or the three game pieces of different shapes.

Can anyone tell that it is 5:20 in the morning and I can't sleep? Thanks, Dave.
