Simple question - When can the human player start shooting the balls?

The rules don't specify a specific time. I would imagine that you can only start shooting after the autonomous period (15sec).

The rules specifically say that you can't start shooting until after the Autonomous Period is over.

At the manuel, until the game pdf:

4.3.2 Match Format

A match is 2 minutes long. At the start of the match, all HUMAN PLAYERS, DRIVERS and COACHES must stand on the Team Zone Starting Line, 3 feet away from their Driver’s Station. An AUTONOMOUS PERIOD starts the match and lasts 15 seconds. Following the AUTONOMOUS PERIOD, the Driver Station
controls will be activated and students may remotely control and operate their ROBOTS for the final 1 minute and 45 seconds of the match.

and

<G14> Team members may not touch any balls during the AUTONOMOUS PERIOD. HUMAN PLAYERS may use any balls in the Team Zone once the AUTONOMOUS PERIOD ends.

Please research a little before you ask questions. It will really help ease the traffic in this forum. Thanks.

YEAH - WHAT HE SAID !!

PLEASE READ the manual BEFORE asking AND/OR answering questions. AND please remember what Dean/Woodie said (I don't remember which one said it ...) "WE MEAN WHAT WE SAY". If you just read the manual (including definitions) most of the rules are spelled out rather clearly. The un-necessary noise on this site just makes it harder to find the useful information.
I will also be posting this in a new topic
