Re: Project Box, Lexan Tube... Used for what?
Shouldn't FIRST publish answers to there riddles? The Lexan, the project box, the magnet and all that John Neun business really had me scratching my head.
By the way, as I was shoveling snow this morning I think finally "GOT" part of the puzzle John Neun gave to that other guy. Are they facing eachother? In that way there would be Pi (Radians) between them. No. Wrong again. I just reread the clue. He doesn't stay there is "Pi between You and Me" He says, "...there is something between Pi, You and Me" I don't know... ...at least the Lexan tube puzzle is explained to my satisfaction ![]() Joe J. |

Re: Project Box, Lexan Tube... Used for what?
As it was explained to me at Manchester, Pi is the name of another baseball player that had completed a triple play, but he was assisted if i remember correctly.

Re: Project Box, Lexan Tube... Used for what?
Anyone know what the 6" long 3/4" PVC Sch 80 pipe (or a 3/4" sch 80 pipe nipple) and the 1' X 1' X 1/4" polycarbonate are for?

Re: Project Box, Lexan Tube... Used for what?
Here was a post from JosephM in another thread. I liked these answers
http://www.chiefdelphi.com/forums/sh...&postcount=582 The magnet I believe was used to hang the tetras at the beginning The project box, as stated before was for the camera. i dont know if the tiny screws are to secure the cover on the project box and maybe the sheet of lexan to make a cover? (i havent looked at the project box) Eric Last edited by ebmonon36 : 11-01-2005 at 22:25. Reason: added my name :) |

Re: Project Box, Lexan Tube... Used for what?
I'm still confused about whether to build the goals out of the PVC or Wood. It looks like they gave us both on the advanced BOM and are letting us choose. And the plywood? What's that for? Maybe the Tetra Auto loading station? Hmmm?

Yes, use the PVC for the goals, and the plywood is for the automatic loading station.

Re: Project Box, Lexan Tube... Used for what?
As stated earlier - the polycarb tube is for the KitBot wheel spacers. The Sch. 80 PVC is for transmission spacers to position the drive sprocket. I have submitted some photos of these two spacers to the Gallery - 2005 - Robots section (& I'll update this post with direct links when the photos are posted).

Re: Project Box, Lexan Tube... Used for what?
Joe, I think I understand that part of the riddle.
John Neun and George Burns were baseball players who both completed unassisted triple plays (3 outs). Pi = 3.14 (about 3). So the thing that is "between" them all is the number 3. This years game has a lot of 3's in it: 3 teams per alliance, 3x3 array of goals, tetras are a 3-dimensional shape that consist of triangles, you get 3 points for each tetra stacked on a goal, and there are probably more that I'm not thinking of at the moment. The "amethyst colored glasses" part has something to do with the molecular structure of amethysts. Quote:
