This means that you could significantly reduce cycle time by having a robot throw over truss to human player, and have the human player hit it to the robot in the next zone, thus having a controlled truss and assist.
Pass over truss to human player, who catches it and feeds it to the next robot. It counts as an assist, is hard to defend against, and you don't waste time chasing a ball around the field.
