19. When playing in the offensive zone, have the human players give you a heads up when your robot scores. They can see the goals far better than you can.

Seconded. I was HP for half of San Diego and our driver thought it was really helpful to have the HP scream "BACK! BACK! FORWARD! FORWARD!" when the bot tried to score.

I'll add:
20. If you have the trident, or if you're a human player, careful not to step outside of the white line. That's a penalty.

Also be sure to ask if the "Trident Guy" wants the ball rolled, tossed, or placed onto the trident. Every little bit of time saved counts.
