Re: Human Player

I think that last year a lot of people said a human player wouldn't be important because of auto-loading.

Think again!

Even if your robot is automatically loading, that mechanism can break down, and having a good human player in a stitch may be your key to success. Also, your human player can help your alliance a lot. Say a robot with an open top on the blue alliance is situated such that its human player can't reach it right away...but the HP on the other end of the side can. Simple communication can speed up the process of loading and send the bot on its way.
