Human Player Feats

[TheModMaster8]

I was kicked/forced off as human player for posting once a human player always a human player on my FB wall before we went to a regional after being the human player 3 years in a row... does that count ?

I saw that so many times at my regionals as well, at the Granite State event in New Hampshire during week 1. It is so amazing to see.

Did he throw it over the wall onto the platform

The player you are referring to is Van from 4557 I believe. He bounced several off the othersides driver station plexi at Waterbury. He has a definite advantage standing at 6'5" tall.

2530 HP is 6'6". He actually throws the noodle with a slight downward trajectory. In the 216 point game (semis 2), our alliance partners, 2826, looked at the scoreboard and asked, "How did we score that much?" I pointed out the 40 litter points.

That...that's insane.

For the record this happened at the Australian Regional last week.

I broke:

10 Chute Door Handles,
2 Chute Doors (the Doors themselves)
1 Whole Human Feeder Station wall.

I can feed 6 totes through the Competition Field Human Player Feeder Station in 10.5 Seconds

Post your record feats this year.

How? Just how? For everything in this post. How?

Seriously. How are you going about breaking this many objects? How haven't the referees deemed it egregious?

Imagine if the last matches of Einstein were just HPs throwing noodles into half-made stacks to disrupt robots/ stack scoring.

Considering the trend in scores, I'm not sure that's all that far from the truth...

Watching video from the Australian Regional, it appears he is just very enthusiastic when he opens the chute door. He sometimes releases the tote at the top of the chute, and attempts the door before it touches the door, but this is not always the case. You can watch him break a handle off at 2:09:50 in this video https://youtu.be/Hgaex5m52XM?t=2h9m44s . If I were a ref or volunteer, I think I would have to warn him about that, 3132 played in 20 matches, breaking the handle off the door every other match is ridiculous, considering there are plenty of other teams doing the same thing that have never broken one.

Thanks for finding that. I have a feeling that this wouldn't have flew too well at other districts' events. I thought he might have been slamming the chute door on the tote in an attempt to manipulate it but it appears that he's just being incredibly rough on the door. I'm still questioning the whole "alliance wall" part, though -- OP, what did you do to break an entire alliance's wall?

The handles at Sydney were apparently not the correct ones as they are different in Hawaii. The ones in Sydney were Balsa wood, with 15 mm deep wood screws. 359 broke handles as well but are yet to do so in Hawaii.

As for the 10.5 seconds of totes I will hopefully post a video later.

We were reminded multiple times however that is within the terms of use. Jerry Budd (from Andy Mark), was fine with it as it was a field fault. It was not egregious nor strategic. In Hawaii as well the Head Referee said that it was fine as well as it is within the use of the door.

In my opinion it is a poorly designed field element, as have a hard metal stop, stop something traveling at speed is not the wisest.
