Re: 2009 Human Player Specifics

As a human player, a few more things i noticed being called were:

Sticking hands over the plexi glass wall at the corner fueling stations... It happens mostly during atonomous when you are dropping them right over the wall... Your hand cant cross the plane of the wall.

Second one has to do with touching the ball before buzzer... Our announcer would say. Three... two... one... go... and then about two seconds later the actual buzzer would start. A penalty was received if you touched the balls before the "official" buzzer.

Lastly. While using the tongs. Make sure you pick it up a fair amount off the ground. I got a penalty called for not bringing it up far enough off the ground.

As far at the tether for the tongs goes... It is just long enough to reach the airlock... At our regional (San diego), the tongs wouldnt even reach out far enough to get a penalty.
