I have nothing against teams who choose to recruit a basketball player to their team, but believe our best team effort will come from featuring committed robotics team members in key roles. After all, as we've been told, you get what you celebrate.

Besides... all the human player has to do is throw the ball to our robot. (At least, that is the theory...) How hard can that be?

Jason

this is true. take an orbit ball and shoot it like a basketball from 30 feet out and try to make it 35 times in a row ( thats our record ) its not easy.
