Re: Human players, kinect

A human player can throw the ball at the last 30 seconds of a match. that is what the horn signals. If it goes in, congrats to the Human player and whatever the hoop is worth the points are given to the alliance. If not, better luck next time!

Teams use the Kinect as a way to use an autonomous however they want. A certain pose by the Human player controls the robot. FIRST is also thinking of using this as a control for teleop for teams who want to. Correct me if i am wrong on that.
