I was wondering about that myself, and although the overall impact of the human player is a bit more than I would like to have (being the main means to score points) it is in no way the only way to do so. Additionally, the static goals are cut so that you can acutally just heave it in with as much accuracy as a basketball net, so it puts less strain on the human player. the robot is still a key element, but i think that whats being emphasized this year is the element of co-operation. whether or not that is a good thing remins to be seen however
