I really enjoyed the greater human player contribution. It setup many more interesting scenarios when it came to choosing alliances. Last year, the human player was really insignificant. This year, though, it really added another dimension to the skill of the team. Like others have said, if a robot became dysfunctional, the entire team was still not dysfunctional.

We had tryouts on our team, and we narrowed it down to two HPs (myself another student). We ended switching each match... so we both got to experience what it's like down on the field. Depending on our objective for the match, we'd sometimes switch. He was often better at the mobile goal, while I was more consistent shooting at the stationary goal.

It was really a lot of fun!! I think they should keep the same level of HP participation next year, yay!
