Robot 1 would still be "eligible" (1 could then pass to 3 in blue and you have 3 assists). You are still thinking like sports assist where the actual pass matters.
you can score the 3 assists without any alliance members intentionally "passing" at all:
the human player retrieves the ball from the pedestal. they are excitedly running around to the guardrail and trip and the ball rolls into the blue zone. robot 1 drives over and picks up the ball in the blue zone. a defender crashes into robot 1 and the ball comes loose and rolls to the white zone where robot 2 possesses the ball. The defender crashes into robot 2 and the ball comes loose again and rolls to the red zone where robot 3 possesses the ball by herding into the low goal. 31 points. no passes.
Read Bob Steele's post again; POSSESSION IS THE KEY WORD! the definition of assist never says anything about passing.
I have to admit that when watching the kickoff video and then reading the rules I was still confused. After talking it through with a few people the idea of thinking only of possession and not passing made things more clear.
