Question Are you planning to use your Human Players?

Are you planning to use your Human Players?

Now that you've had time to build something and think about how you'll play the game. How do your human players fit in? Do you think you'll use them more than maybe once per match? Considering the risk they pose for penalties. The speed at which they can load compared to the auto loaders. The sitting duck factor compared to the grab and go of the autoloader. The risk of them not putting them on the Bot correctly and causing a penalty. The downtime of your mechanisms not functional while waiting. The list goes on.

The reasons I could see using the HP are:
If you designed to receive them only from the HP.
Or if the Auto loaders are blocked or empty (which will be hard to do in a 2 minute match).

I'd really like to use the HP but 1 tetra + penalty risk + 6min/second downtime + the ensuing block waiting for me. I'm going to reserve that option if really needed. We should be able to get tets into play from the Autoloader at a rate of 1/3sec. I imagine the average will be around 1/4.5sec

I would like to see a rule change to allow 2 tets loadable at a time by the HP. Then you would have a balance of usefulness. Otherwise I'm worried our HP's might get bored and wander off the pad to collect pins.
