of course, the human player is very important in this years game..
However, in the end.. it will be the best combination of the two who will win. An awesome HP without any balls isn't that great!
Also, as i said in another post, i think there's a hidden metaphor behind this. It goes along the lines of how robotics help humans in the real world. In this game, the robots help get the balls to the HP to do their task.
