Shortest Human Player

I was human player for 118 in 2001 and I think I was the sortest one out there. We went to LSR and were in Newton at Nationals, at all those matches I think I was the shortest one in all the alliances. Bieng 5'5", during the pregame meeting I got a quite few "are you really the human player" reactions. I ended up bieng the one of the people who handed the balls to the tallest human player who then dropped them into the goal. Then I ran our team's e-stop button. I could reach over the glass and drop a ball into the goal, but in competion i never returned a ball to the playing field. Still I had fun bieng on stage at the competitions.

The story goes that since I was the only student who woke up really early and showed up at NASA(thats were we work) to pick up stuff to bring to Reliant Arena the Thursday morning of LSR, I was awarded the position. Plus I was on the base sub-system pit crew, so I knew how to fix our drive train. Me and my handy Leatherman, even though it is "the not so perfcet tool for the job", came in handy for quick, on stage 30 seconds before a match, fixes. Actually I think it was the perfect tool for the job given the time we had sometime between matches. It also was a great tool tightening and clipping the ends off of the millions of cable ties we used on our robot last year.

when we won second place at midatlantic, the deciding game was won by one point. i am a terrible human player, but i managed to get one in. human players may not be very important when you win by 10 points, but their true value is revealed in close score maches.

Well, our team needed our human players to get the balls in the goal, only when we needed them to. We just said if we want to be up by a point or so, to start throwings (/me puts on flame suite) but they can't throw!!! LOL! j/k, j/k, our human players where very, very good...
