I’d like to know how the human players have been scoring in ACTUAL competion play…
To brag, our human player went five for five in the elimination round in Chicago. 
(Three for three in one match, two for two in the next)
And I believe, Bomb Squad’s human player went two for two with black balls…
As for an overall percentage, I don’t know, but I’d like to hear if anyone has figured it out for any team.

Our human player also did quite well after a little bit of practice. In one round he got 6 balls in the goals. Four were in ours, and then he shot two into our opponent’s goal to boost our score.

The best shooter I have seen was from Team 65( Husky Brigade) I was out watching the competition in Michigan he impressed me the most. he was the only one I saw get it in most of the time. And not only did they have a good Human Palyer they have a pretty good robot too. I’d say the average is about 1/4 to about 1/3 that they score a ball.

I would have to agree with you on that one! Pontiac Northern has the best human player, from what I seen. But one thing that I haven’t seen him do is, throw a ball in the opponets goal for points in the qualifying rounds!

well, I found human player shooting very difficult. I was our team backup driver and backup human player. Through a twisted series of events, I ended up the main driver, but I remember all the practice I had as the backup human player. We had a goal constructed of PVC pipes. The human player and I made almost every shot. It was very easy. However, the goals at the competition are a lot more rigid, and there is a lot of wires and lights and stuff obstructing our view. It seems as if human player scoring is not something to be relied upon heavily. I found that it is effective having the human player shoot all the yellow balls, but bounce the black ball right to an ally machine, just to be safe.
