Aren't the human players on the opposite end from the scoring zone for each alliance?

Human players are on the opposite side from the scoring zone, you are correct. However throwing a poofball from 3' BEHIND the lexan (yup, behind the starting line) over an 8' piece of lexan and into a robot that will most likely not be sitting still will be difficult. And if the robot is up against the lexan (guarding the side goal) it will be almost impossible (other than a lob) to put a poofball into the robot.
