Re: "Triple Play" Human Player Question

The human players this year MUST become "robots" themselves.

1) They can't jump up and down excitedly on the pressure mats
2) They can't run into each other as the three human players try to feed their robots at the TWO manual loading stations. namely, don't criss-cross in your human player paths.
3) The human players CANNOT do anything to the other human players even on the same alliance. No handing-of tetras, etc. Each HP is dedicated like a "robot" to his/her OWN robot and ONLY receives instructions from his/her driver....

If your team's robot becomes disabled for some reason, the LAST thing you want to have happen is to have the HP LEAVE that pressure pad. The HP should just sit there and "freeze" until directed to do elsewise.....

This will NOT be easy to CONTROL........
