Re: auto vs. manual loading zone, which one?

I'm pretty sure my team had one of the faster human players in FIRST. I was going through some of my teams video of our last regional and counted how long it took for him to load a tetra on. He averaged about 1.3 seconds from when the robot shut off to when the robot was re-enabled. We nicknamed him the blur.

Either way, I present The Blur:

Well we use the same type of strategy. Ever since the UTC Scrimmage we have never used the auto zone. After making the necessary adjustments we now only use the human player zone. We have 2 human players one known as Crash (me) officially announced @ UTC NE Regional and Flash. There r pictures of both of us on here but this is only the pic of Flash. Its more blurry .

1.3 seems a little unrealistic. You must have only timed him without loading a tetra. I can load 3 tetras on our robot in under 15 seconds in game situation. (not meaning to brag). to get a more accurate time you should set up in a game situation and then have him load.
