Coach/ Human Player interaction
 

Would it be illegal to have the coach pick up the balls from the corral and hand them to the human player? (sorry if it states this in the rules somewhere, i might have missed it)

Anyone can hand the ball to the HP but only the HP can shoot.

I think it was answered in Q&A. Check me if I'm wrong.

Cool, thanks for the fast response

you are correct sir... ALSO!!!

the driver or manipulator can pick them up from what i understand... i could be wrong... can anyone verify for this??

Yeah it is true. If you had an autonomous ball collector/dumper...which would be awesome to see...you could have three people feeding balls to your human player or opposite human player.

The coach can also take the balls out of the corral to hand them to the human player. This was a grey area yesterday at the UTC Scrimmage and the people who were there from FIRST said that the coach could grab out of the corral.

the balls can be put anywhere in the team area as long as they stay in there correct?

Re: Coach/ Human Player interaction
 

Yes, that is the way the rule is written anyways. I would double check with the refs at your first regional though.

Anyone with the Operator badge on and Coach can touch them. That was what helped our team to win VCU because the robot spewed them out faster than our human player can shoot.
