According to the blue box in G11, the ROBOT can pass the ball to the human player.
This could be useful...

1. If a robot doesn't have a ground pickup, and you want to "assist" it.

2. If the ball handling robot is pinned, it could pass to the human player who could chuck it to another robot.

I don't think there are any regulations as to how far the human player can throw... so might also be an effective way of getting the ball across the field fast.

Can someone help me understand how you get the balls from the pedestal to the Human Player Area? G38 and G39 leave me confused because you cannot pass the ball between the areas, nor can you walk between the areas.

G38 HUMAN PLAYERS may not pass the BALL to a HUMAN PLAYER in another HUMAN PLAYER AREA (passing the BALL within an ALLIANCE STATION or HUMAN PLAYER AREA is permitted). Violation: FOUL

G39 During the MATCH, TEAMS must remain in contact with the area of the FIELD (ALLIANCE STATION or HUMAN PLAYER AREA) in which they started the MATCH. Exceptions will be granted for inadvertent, momentary, and inconsequential infractions and in cases concerning safety. Violation: FOUL

Only one human player may inbound balls from the pedestal by staying within the taped boundaries of their alliance zone. The other two human players only throw the balls that went out of bounds back in if the ball had not been scored.

As far as I can tell, it only says where they may stand, not where they must stand. You could have two players in the alliance station and one in one of the human player zones (maybe not advisable, but possible).
