Human Players throwing the HIGH NOTE

It seems like a weird choice to have potential points that rely solely on a human players skill

Not the first time. It’s just been a while. 2009, if I’m not mistaken.

I am just going to be direct and head things off:

It’s best to describe gamepieces by their game manual names. Note, not Frisbee, donuts, rings, etc

You are free to do what you want of course, but this is just best-practice

Watching HPs in 2013 throwing full fueld hammers into the goals was awesome in my opinion

So glad I was a human player that year. That was a lot of fun and human player full length shots did win the occasional match. managed to get a colored disk on top of a pyramid in Milwaukee that won the match, that was a definite highlight reel moment.

Seems to be very few points. 3 points for a climb, but 4 instead for a spotlit climb - so 1 bonus point per robot on that chain if you can hit the microphone.

Yeah but since you need 10 stage points for the ranking point it can matter a lot.

2015 Human players could throw litter onto the opposing side of the field for points, that was interesting

When/how many times can the HP throw the note?

you’re supplied with 3 rings. i believe you’re only able to throw them in the last 20 seconds

It’s to my understanding that the harmony points count towards the ranking point. This would mean you don’t need the high note at all because you have 3 robots on the chain (3 each for a total of 9) and 2 of the are on the same chain which is an extra 4 points with those added up together you’d get 13 points which should be enough for the ranking point.

You get three High Notes.

From my understanding, that would only be 11 points, as the harmony points are per additional robot, not per robot. (6.5.2). Regardless, that is more than the 10 point requirement for the ensemble ranking point.
