It must be a very important role if we are practicing without the robot.

This is standard procedure.

For the last I don't know how many years, this line has been in the rulebook. And, in competition matches, having a human player when the robot doesn't make it keeps you from getting a loss when your alliance wins.

Last year, the human player was critical. The year before, the robocoach wasn't necessarily as critical. It varies year to year.
