If you looked at the field parts list, it says something about a magnet. That has me thinking the most.

"something between Pi, You and Me"
Maybe since pi being the 16 letter of the greek alpahbet it could mean there is only 16 balls. Let two bots represent you and me and that the balls are between them.

With the unassisted triple plays, the order in which one occurs must do like so:
1. Catch a Ball
2. Touch a Base
3. Touch an opponent
This are possible clues that these are just hints to some of the tasks.
If you look at the greek alphabet, what is between pi, "Y" and "M" for "you" and "me" you get words like box and off. Maybe i'm wrong but I think we may have to move blocks around.

Re: Official 2005 Clue Thread

"I think its pretty clear from the shape of amethyst gems and from the triple-play clue that we are going back to the hexagon fields with 3 teams. Now for the "Pi, you, and me" part..."

Yes, lets go here. Another definition of Pi

What is pi? It is equal to C/d, or C/2r, where C is the circumference of any circle, and d is its diameter, and r is its radius.
http://www.jimloy.com/geometry/pi.htm

How could circumference fit in?

Re: Official 2005 Clue Thread

Neun and Burns both made UNASSISTED triple plays. Purple is the combination of Red and Blue. Maybe there are no longer alliances and you get extra points for doing something during autonomous.

But if purple is the combination of Red and Blue, it could mean that FIRST is back to one pair/triplet of teams working together. And if its between Neun and Burns, would mean is not-unassisted, which would further support that teams work together as one.

Re: Official 2005 Clue Thread

OK this is what i found out

George Burns was a big time comedian/actor: You know the guy with those big glasses and giant cigar

John Neun: all i found on this guy was he was an old baseball player from the REDS

Amethyst: is acutely a blueish violet i found this out because i looked it up in the dictionary

as far as the pi and the you and me part I have no clue

Maybe Pi refers to a circular field?

Re: Official 2005 Clue Thread

Pi relates to a circle
Me can refer to mechanical energy
A circle of mechanical energy can be a spring
Amethyst is known for increases your ability to open to new ideas and help open the channels to your higher self.
So, somewhere in a circle is a spring that holds mechanical energy. This energy is tapped when you open yourself up to new and dynamic ideas.
Look out!

Corey you might be on to something with the pyramids i don't know how you got on it but here is something to back you up http://www.jimloy.com/pseudo/pyramid.htm this goes with Corey theory.
