the rule states a robot's alliance partner throws and that robot catches.
That is probably being used as an adjective to delineate a reference to "a robot" It is grammatically awkward.

Better wording would be

A CATCH occurs when a BALL SCORED over the TRUSS by a ROBOT is POSSESSED by either of the two non-truss scoring ROBOTS from the same ALLIANCE as the truss scoring robot before contacting the carpet or HUMAN PLAYER
