What do you guys think of the new rule update? So a robot can catch it's own throw over the truss now?
... Is this to say you can throw a ball over the truss, have a human catch it, and get 10 catch points? Seems too easy.

EDIT: No, this rule update is clarifying and saying that catch points are only rewarded when a robot on an alliance throws over the truss and it is caught by an alliance partner; it's explicitly saying that the robot that scored the truss and the human player do NOT count for the catch points.
