Who Practiced To Be HP?

I didn't really pracitice all of that much to be Human PLayer. A couple of our members did. One practiced religously, when he wasn't able to help with the programming in the field room he would of been throwing the ball over and over again. I never saw him practice, but, i have yet to see him miss a goal.

639 built half a field (pic is uploaded on CD) and those people who were interested in HP practiced about 30 min a day for each day of winter break (week before last week of build)

You know what really sucks. We work at a powerplant, and our goals were up on this turbine deck. So we would go up there and shoot. One of I team members, who thinks he is cool, too a wizz of the edge of the deck. Now the whole team was banned from going up there. I probably shot 100 ball, at the max. However, I made 97 of the 100 balls I shot.

From what I've heard, 93's human player is awesome. He's a freshman basketball player and practiced a LOT. One night, he made 150 shots in a row without missing one! He also happens to be ChellyZee's little brother. Talk to him if you see him at St. Louis, Midwest or Nationals -- he's a pretty cool kid!

I'm going to speak for our team's three HP's. We built 3/4 of the field and they spent many evenings practicing. They shot > 90% at the PNW Regional.

Our Team had Drive Team tryouts shortly after kickoff. We worked hard on getting our human players to shoot in both goals. We used a pipe that just so happened to be 7 foot high as a marking point for the 7 foot high wall in front of the ball corral. We practiced every drive team practice and everyone practiced with the varsity and jv human players we split the team into regardless of whether they held one of the human player positions. Our team percentage was quite high and everyone by the end could make over 60% of their shots from my observations.

Our choice was easy...we have two basketball players on our team and they are good! They have practiced shooting their "shots" with the goals during build phase and during study halls each day of school. We have someone moving goals around while they are shooting over a poorly built players station. We will see next week in Detroit how they pan out for us.

I am the HP for 521, and with having a robot deisgned to control the mobile goal and the multiplier and did a lot of my practing on the mobile goal to the point that at the UTC scrimmage(5-5 during the actual games even more during pracitce) I made every shot on the mobile goal and ever since then hav continued to practice. However, my team was unable to build the stationary goal to practice out so I spent a lot of time practiicng on that at the scrimmage making onlly like half of all the shots but a lot more towards the nd of the scrimmage
