Another thing to remember is the that the communication between the drivers or coach and the HP is going to be really important as when to go out for the loading zone and such. Also the human player is going to have to be very familiar with placing the tetra on or in the robot so there are as few missed seconds as possible, there are some great exercises that i can recommend for anyone who knows they will be the human player, (I have some running stuff and lifting stuff from football camp at University or Maryland.)
Also remember that all the track stars that you have are a great advantage but most track people are used to lots or long distance, unless they do sprints, and not having to carry a 8.5lb odd shape and place it then running back to a still position.
