Re: Is it possible to score a ball without POSSESSing it?
By the pure letter of the law, here's my take. When a ball enters play, it must either A) touch the carpet on the close side of the truss or B) come in contact with an alliance robot before the ball may go beyond the truss. By this rule, a ball may enter play without being possessed, and in theory, directed into a goal without being possessed. By pure rulings, a ball never needs to be possessed to be considered scored. By mechanics, I really can't see how a robot ramming a ball into a goal does not gain possession of it.
