Re: Have You Trained Your Human Player Today?

As stated at the beginning, the human player does have a huge impact not on winning a match, but on losing a match. Unfortunately during one of our matches our human players were trying to put the ball back into play and it fell and hit our driver’s hand which then hit the keyboard killing our robot. We lost that match in part because it was 2 on 3 after our robot got shut off. Although it’s no one’s fault really, it is just disappointing to lose a match because of a silly error that was probably caused by rushing. I was not involved in this but I was a human player and I never practiced. The only thing I made sure to do was stay calm and move deliberately but cautiously. If you try to quickly return the ball you will mess up more often than if you take an extra second or two and make sure not to drop it.
