I THINK WE HAD TWO GOOD HUMAN PLAYERS BECAUSE THEY COULD CALCULATE THE SCORE AMAZINGLY FAST (SOPHMORES IN CALCULUS) AND THOUGHT OF GOOD STARTEGIES. I'M NOT SAYING THAT OUR PLAYERS WERE THE BEST, BUT THEY DID A GOOD JOB AND THEY SHOULD KNOW I PLAN TO TAKE THEIR JOB NEXT YEAR (I HOPE )
That is exactly what I think makes a good human player. When you can ask you're human player to calculate the scores, and to know every possible strategy. I think that in some ways the human player is the drivers brain. When that human player gets back behind the glass, he needs to know the game inside and out. He/She needs to know exactly what the best way to get the most QP's are, and also how "not to cut it to close". Just because you can build an 8 stack in 8 seconds, doesn't mean you are a good human player. It might mean that you're very athletic, but not necessarily a good human player.

Another important quality is to know what you are going against. The human player should know a lot about the robots that are going to be at their regional or devision at the national event. It is always better to have more information then you need, then not enough. I know that I spent my weekends leading up to the regionals, watching NASA tv, and the on-line web-casts. I also watched a good majority of the matches close up. For those of you that were at Evanston, I was the one right on the side of the court with my monocular looking at every angle of every bot.

I think that every human player deserves a hand, for being the best of their team. I hope to see some good human players at IRI.
