When I'm in the stands and I talk to various people about the game, I talk about the human player's role. It is always a benefit, from my point of view, to be able to talk about machines and humans working together to achieve a task or a goal. This season, I'll be talking about Robonaut2 and the International Space Station as an example of the possibilities and their importance.

You can look at the game as a game or you can look at it as an opportunity to explore options and possibilities.
