The caveats that the OP uses to say control are relinquished are not obervable by a referee in the flow of the game and nebulious at best. Also the first robot is clearly still carrying or herding in all the descriptions.

Therefore some one watching and scoring the game would rule that possesion has never changed.

Again it's pointless to argue this because the chances of 2 teams building robots to facillitate anything but option 1 and fairly low, and as I said before actually pulling that off would be tough.
