Re: Can drive coach ALSO be a human player?
 

what if your drive coach is a mentor? i don't think we can. i don't think I've seen that anywhere in the rules.

Re: Can drive coach ALSO be a human player?
 

Doesn't matter, according to the rules. They make no distinction between whether or not the drivers, human player, or coach (student or adult) can handle the balls. The only restriction is that the human player has to handle the trident and the coach can't touch the controls.

I am not entirely sure if I will be the coach this year, but it's in the cards, and I know if I am I will not be opposed to the idea of helping out the Human Players should there be a backlog of balls that need to be re-introduced to the field.

It's not something I want to do all of the time, but if I've got to do it then I will.

If Suffield was any indicator, the human player will have plenty of time to place the ball in the trident.

Re: Can drive coach ALSO be a human player?
 

I believe there will be more scoring than at Suffield. That said, I agree that the human player should have no difficulty keeping up.

The Field Supervisors are currently being informed that if a ball rolls out of the alliance station the field reset crew is to return it to that alliance at approximately where it came out as soon as possible.
