Sorry for the negative comments it's just how I feel.

Last year they managed to get... what, 10 refs for each regional? And I know I, for one, asked to be a ref, and was told that they didn't need any more. I think there was a conscious effort in this game to cut down on the number of refs required, but unfortunately the high human player involvement seems to have thwarted that.

At the Arizona Regional, the human player job was the following. I didn't see these anywhere in the past posts.

1) The human player was responsible for putting the moon rocks inside, on, etc the robot.
2) The moon rock had to be at least the wall level in order for the h.p. to be able to touch it.
