Re: Human Player: Past, Present and Future

This is my first full year in FIRST and I think that the human player's role is perfect in the game. They AIDE their robot to score, but they are not essential to winning the game. Many robots are great at using the auto-loading zone.

Their is a safety issue and FIRST has dealt with this, the 30-point penalty will prevent a team that wants to win from interferring with the robot while it is in the loading zone.

The only thing I dislike about this year's human player is the pressure pad, they may have some issues from time to time.
