What if it was a blue robot and it went into the goal seemingly with purpose? It is also directing a ball into a certain direction with purpose. Also possession. In open field, I would agree...it would take multiple hits in the same direction. Against a corner, it would depend more on the direction the robot was moving and intent. That is my opinion.

And this is indeed a position I would agree with, except that the inverse is not true. Many times a single hit with gusto were not considered possession enough to count as an assist for scoring. It is entirely too subjective, and it will be impossible to be consistent across all the venues with the current set of rules, I feel.
