Another potential rule that needs to be considered would be:
Quote:
G11
BALLS may not be intentionally or repeatedly ejected from gameplay.
Violation: FOUL per instance.

If Blue has 3 assist on the board, from a strategic standpoint, it would be in Reds best interest to put the ball in the low goal. That way the ball is out of play and has to go to the nearest human player to be inbounded again. Which is valuable time wasted.
From a spectator's point of view it makes no sense why that ball should not be considered a score. The only reason this rule exist is because the GDC did not want team's to Full Court Shoot over the Truss.
I still believe that if a Blue Robot pushes a Red Robot into a Blue Ball and the Blue Ball goes into the Blue Low Goal, it should count as a Blue Score. The Blue Robot
caused the ball to go into the goal, which meets requirement 3.1.4 - 1.
