Human Players- Scoring?

[racesick222]

Personally I don't think there will be any scoring from a human player. With the distance and other robots in the way it would be very hard. Also I don't even know why human players are throwing them it makes driving hard and gives your opponent a better faster chance to score. Maybe in a very lucky chance it might happen, but i don't we'll see it in 2011

If you watched any of alamo you can tell that 148 told their alliance partners to block the other alliance while they had the human players throwing the tubes almost all the way down the field, that being said i see the possiblity of a human player getting a tube to land or bounce onto the rack. This probably wont happen until the later weeks when people start to perfect their throwing style.

We did see a human player get a ringer on one of the minibot poles at FLR...

The Field Reset crew had to love that

Also the case at Kettering...

Possible? Yes
Probable, or even a reasonable strategy? No.

But a good thrower can make a HUGE difference. Having the right tube almost on the yellow line for the whole match saves a lot of time and virtually nullifies any possible defense.

1126's human player de-scored one of our squares at FLR, though the refs didn't call it, since we were still pulling back from scoring it. Was funny though.

1126 was lucky the ref didn't see it since that falls under G39:

<G39> ROBOTS and FEEDERS may not SCORE on their opponent's PEGS or descore their opponent‟s GAME PIECES, or interfere with their opponent‟s TOWERS. Violation: PENALTY plus RED CARD.
