I didnt really understand this part and I would love for some help  |
This means that a catch is a catch if the robot succefully catches it before the ball hits the floor, the robot that threw the ball over the truss, or a human player. If the ball does one of those three things before the catching robot has possession, the bonus points aren't scored.

the second rule is G29 that says:
An ALLIANCE may not pin an opponent ROBOT for more than five (5) seconds. A ROBOT will be considered pinned until the ROBOTS have separated by at least six (6) ft. The pinning ROBOT(S) must then wait for at least three (3) seconds before attempting to pin the same ROBOT again. Pinning is transitory through other objects.
is this rule applies if the intire ALLIANCE pin a robot or even if 1 ROBOT pins an opponent robot?

That's a great question for the Q & A
