I'm only 6' tall, but often referred to as odd - does that count? ;-)

sounds like a technicality, post it to the Q&A. I believe FIRST is usually good about touching the area beyond the line or breaking the plane.

I'm 6'7", and I'd love to help out on you're team, but unfortunately, I'm already taken.
By the way, our team is undecided on whether to have me as human player, or a baseball player, because I have moderate accuracy, but am higher than the wall, whereas if we were to recruit an outfielder, they would be very accurate, but may not be taller than the wall. So there are some strategic choices to make when choosing you're human player.

Human player must throw from behind the line. You have to reach over to get the balls, and you may want to step forward to check on just where your robot is. So the only restriction is not throwing from in front of it.

Re: Human players scoring

Well... human players scoring sound kind of unlikely. I really think they should stick to getting the ball back onto the field, perhaps into a robot. It's actually the skill of the human player, tallness may or may not be a factor. We're actually thinking about borrowing one of our school's basketball player (the aim and shooting thing), but I think the baseball player would probably make more sense. And training really really helps if you're going to try to make it to the goal.
