Re: Can drive coach ALSO be a human player?

Personally, if I had a simple enough robot that I could operate it with one person for a few seconds or longer at a time, I'd use the second driver as a human player relay point. Keep the coach watching the field, which is what he'd need to do anyway.

Interesting. That's something to think about. Either way, a relay would be useful. If it works out.

We are not currently planning on using the coach (me) to handle balls.

However, if a ball is dropped and rolls out of the alliance station I will be taking the penalty to go chase it down.

The Field Supervisors are currently being informed that if a ball rolls out of the alliance station the field reset crew is to return it to that alliance at approximately where it came out as soon as possible.
