I'll second these. We had to play against 1241 a couple of time & I got to see his skill much too much. Much too close. Interesting style & good accuracy.

My 340 drive team had nothing but compliments for Shauna. I heard "smart" more than a few times. She helped our driver line up to the outpost to get the EC.
Too many payload specialists were CLUELESS out there. Our drivers had to run into the lexan to get some other PS's attention. But not Shauna, she's one great team player! Good shooter too.

Team 2415 has an awsome human player. You do not want your robot any where near here, which pretty much means anywhere on the field. She is great and there robot is awsome, they won both palmetto and peachtree.

I'll second that, and the great comments about 1771's. For those who mentioned 343's, thanks. We have two, Seth stands up, and Sam sits down. We like using Seth to fill the hopper in autonomous, but it doesn't leave him too many for the round. Sam plays softball, so she has a nack for it.

Hey Guys!
Thanks for the shout outs! This is actually 2415's human player, not Andrew. I just don't have a Chief Delphi account (I would spend WAY too much time on the forums)

Mike from 1771 was great. And Seth and Sam from 343 were both awesome, not to mention Sam's dancing before the finals.

See you guys at Championships!

Thirded. From coaching 340 at FLR I had to work with a number of Payload Specialists and I really believe Shauna was one of the best overall and definitely the best at the outpost. Her guidance and thumbs up or thumbs down communication was so helpful to our elimination alliance's success. I hope we get the chance to work together in Atlanta!

Having partnered with 177 during Newton elims, I can again attest to how good their human player is. We lead after autonomous in every match we played with them. It was like having a fourth robot on the field with us!

Someone needs to post the video of him shooting a FULL FIELD hail mary at the end of Newton Semi-Final 1-2. The supercell hit the floor about 3 feet short of a trailer against the opposing driver station. The ball bounced right into the trailer! That was the second highest combined score this year (we won the match 133 to 92).

I don't know his name but the killer bee's (team 33) human player is pretty fun to watch and really good.

I totally agree. 33's HP is really fast and made some long distance shots.

Ok...I am biased as well...but I didn't collect the data. According to another teams scouts our shooter on Team 2865 was one of the top human players at the Seattle Regional (and he did it from the outpost position). He also was very consistent in Portland, Oregon. Our 'bot was primarily defensive and only scores 5-10 balls a match, we knew we would be relying on the human player and Ricky didn't disappoint us or our alliances.

1771's HP is the best I've seen to date. Considering he is the school's varsity quarterback, that might not be an accomplishment, but he's out there, and one match, I saw him shoot this entire load, and he only missed 1.

Yeah well during his High School Career he got to be the #1 QB in the state of Georgia.

He's fun to watch! Those jump shots make the position of PS look that much more intense.

I also have to give props to our 6'5" Human player, Aaron. At traverse city teams gave him the nickname "sharp-shooter". He consistently gets 18/20 moon rocks in opposing trailers, many of these are half-court and beyond. Aaron has never gotten a penalty and always contributes a major portion of the score.

Many teams have told us that Aaron was the one of the best human players present during our past three competitions. I'm on drive team, and thus not a full-time scout, so I can't confirm this myself. However, I do know that he's the only Human Player who has been able to score on our trailer during autonomous with our rotation at full speed (this happened during practice, not during an actual match).
