Re: What should a standard "Pass" be?

No matter what there will be situations in which the ball is on the ground and one of the robots will have to retrieve it. An effective way of retrieving the ball while also counting as an assist might be a sort of flipper that goes under the ball and launches it to your alliance partner to catch.

A standard pass doesn't seem viable, as almost every kind pass will have to be done at some point. What maybe should be standardized is the method in which the robot catches the ball. It'll be a good idea to cooperate to find out which combinations of launchers and catchers might work the best.
