Re: pic: How illegal is that?

Only the human player can place tubes into the field, whether or not it is in play when completely in/over the field or when it breaks the plane of the alliance station wall. I have held many tubes over the past eight weeks and can only wonder. Why in the world would it ever take two people to pass a tube over the alliance station wall? Why are people trying to force the issue here and on the field? The Q & A made it clear that the HP can enter tubes onto the field over the alliance station wall as long as the HP or Robot do not break the plane of the alliance station wall. Wouldn't it be nice if GP would take over and teams would simply have the one and only HP on each alliance pass ringers to the robot over the wall, thru the chute or throw them into the playing field instead of using team members other than the HP and/or multiple players passing over the same ringer. I just do not see the benefit to using more than the designated HP or not following a simple rule. If you are not the HP, why would you think that you can pass the ringer into the field by whatever method is legal? If the refs did not notice it very often it was probably because they did not think anyone would have a reason to not follow a couple of simple rules.
