Lunacy provides an huge opportunity for Human Players (a.k.a. Payload Specialists) to score directly...and to score big!

The traditional FRC Human Player is called the Payload Specialist in the 2009 competition, Lunacy. The Payload Specialist role is a tremendously important one in this game. Payload Specialists can score directly by shooting Moon Rocks or Super Cells into opponents' Trailers. Bonus scoring with Super Cells is not possible without effective Payload Specialist coordination.

There are two different types of Payload Specialists: Outpost and Airlock. Each alliance has one Outpost Specialist who shoots from a seated position in the middle of the field. The Outpost Specialist must also feed Empty Cells to alliance robots
