Re: Human Player: Past, Present and Future

I think that the role of the HP should be expanded. Although with the direction of technology and robotics going mroe and more autonomous, this is still a competition and a chance to have some fun and show off what you did in just six weeks. I think by having the 15 second auton mode and a HP that stands at a safe distance and scores for the alliance would b a good challenge. The role of the robot could be to position the goals or scoring zones into an acceptable distance for the HP to score. By incorporating a HP you are giving more people a chance to interact with technology as in the future, humans will have to interact with robots in order to acomplish tasks, and fix broken 'bots, well a HP could work WITH the bot to score and accomplish certain tasks, as well as additional tasks set by the HP and by the 'bot, like by saying, a certain position would be a certain number of points by the HP and a task as in hanging from the chin up bar to be assigned by the robot task, just try to keep the HP a part of the game as it adds an element to the game that is just fun and reliable.
