Re: Human Players and the Game

I don't like the human player being able to directly score, or at least not easily. I've always seen them as facilitating robot function. In 2006 they were mostly used for loading (though it was possible to score in the corner. ) In 2007 they were almost solely used for loading the bot (but, again, could still theoretically score.) In 2008 they could control the bot with the IR controller, and at least on our team served the far more important role of an extra pair of eyes.

So count me as one of the people who doesn't like that the human player can change the game on their own. If the human player can throw in a single ball at the end of the game and change the outcome of the match I don't like it.
