Scoring increases with each "assist" pass. Low goal (or single robot touching the ball/puck/whatever)=1 point. Middle goal (or two robots touch the game piece)=3 points. High goal (or all three robots touch)=9 points.
Or something like that.

Yeah...I'm just wondering how they would keep track of robots passing game pieces to each other.
What they could do is that would be a viable and effective strategy to get around defense, otherwise you double-team the bot with the puck forcing them to pass or lose control of the puck.
Sounds like fun, now that I think about it. More defense and more opportunities to evade defense = more excitement.
