The reasoning may involve each individual robot's design. Lets say you build a robot that can pickup off the floor and shoot decently. Another team has a decent shooter, but can't pick up off the floor. To get it up the field, you might pass it to your human player so they can lightly toss it into the other robot's shooter.
