Re: So, do we rely on our payload specialist?

In 2004 we won an offseason championship in the final seconds of game 3 because our human player "nailed" eight shots in row with the purple balls. She was just an amazing shot.

In 2006 the human player was a definite part of our strategy and we were in the top 8 all season.

Despite the fact that FIRST teams all build incredible robots, human beings are just still so much more capable. They have much more refined "feedback systems", which can adjust to an infinite number of situations.

Do not underestimate the human players. Especially given this year's game format.
