We did infact plan for this, that's why we never planned to truss to the open field, or if we do we know we risk wasting time. I'm not saying that we have won't have mistakes but carelessly throwing the ball to no one is not the smartest move in this game and as everyone has now learned comes with risks.

Anytime the ball is not controlled by a member of your alliance, robot or human, you risk losing a lot of time.
