Questions.

[Freddy Schurr]

1. Can you shoot from your backbot?
2. Can you block the side goals.
3. Can you stop other teams from shooting? Is it consider "pinning"?
4. What is the role of the human player? How are they use in this year game?
5. Once a ball is scored, can be used again?

I know this may be simple and in the rulebook but the team is wanted to know now what some of the answers for the questions. I maybe will be posting questions on other things game-related and other.

Thanks for your help?

1. Can you shoot from your backbot?
Yes and no. While you can shoot, the balls that go in won't count.
2. Can you block the side goals.I find nothing against this.
3. Can you stop other teams from shooting? Is it consider "pinning"? You can't stop the other teams from shooting, but you can block the shots (unless your robot expands to more than 5 ft tall.) It would not be considered pinning.
4. What is the role of the human player? How are they use in this year game? Human players are used to load robots or score in the lower goals.
5. Once a ball is scored, can be used again?Yes. Humans can take any ball on their side of the player station (already scored) and throw it onto the field or into a goal.
(Note: all the answers are in Section 4. Try having your whole team read that section in the next day or two and the rest of the manual in following days.)
