If a ball is shot by Robot-A and it bounces once and then lands in Robot-B, is there no penalty because Robot-A cannot cause Robot-B to get a penalty? How about 2 bounces? 3 bounces? No bounces? When does the safety valve get turned off to where Robot-B has to take responsibility?
If a robot catches the opposing alliances ball either they are getting the penalty or the opposing bot will. However, I only see the opposing bot getting a penalty if the catching bot had been in the same position for a considerable amount of time and it appears that the bot went out of its way to shoot in that direction.
