Re: Human Player

Actually, after doing extensive research across the game manual, truss points can only be scored through being caught by a robot. As quoted from the game manual:
A CATCH occurs when a BALL SCORED over the TRUSS by a ROBOT’S ALLIANCE partner is POSSESSED by that ROBOT before contacting the carpet, the ROBOT which SCORED the TRUSS, or HUMAN PLAYER.

In explanation, only the robot(s) that didn't possess the ball before the truss throw are the only ones who can catch it; not the human player or the robot that threw it
