Given the geometry of the truss plane, I don't think many balls would bounce right at their Human Player. A launch commensurate with a goal shot might clear the human player and result in a foul. G11 is fuzzy. Was it a truss clear or a "pass"?

I think they are going to play a larger role.
Just trying to parse the rules to predict the permutations.
