I'm really confused about the role of the human players, specifically these ones: http://min.us/i/bpK5KsFVN1YvK

G38 prevents player C from passing the ball to player A, and G39 prevents player A from getting the ball himself. Furthermore, player A is forbidden from inbounding a ball by G36. So what exactly do player A and B do?

[Timeroot]

I believe the field staff members have the duty to bring balls to "the nearest team member"?

Edit: It says

A CYCLE is the series of events that recur regularly, and each CYCLE begins with an ALLIANCE member retrieving their BALL from their lit PEDESTAL and ends when the BALL is SCORED in a GOAL.

Oops, yeah. But if the ball is scored, don't the staff members put the ball on the pedestal all the way on the other end of the field?

Players A and B serve two rules -- a robot can pass a ball to one of those two players, and then the human can pass it back in [given certain slight restrictions, e.g. the human barrier, no interfering with the other team]; AND if a ball goes out of bounds, then players A and B might very well be given the ball and then they have the opportunity to pass it back in. They cannot leave the area for the whole of the game period.


Player C can move about freely within that U-shaped region, and can retrieve the ball from the pedestal and pass it into play.

Ok, that makes sense now. And there's no rule against having all three players behind the alliance wall?

Our team has been looking. We can't find any.
