Nominally, get a ball into play.

Strategically, part of a "inbound to robot, robot-to-robot pass, truss shot to human player, inbound to 3rd robot, score" cycle.

Less obviously, any balls leaving the field are returned to the nearest human player. Which may mean back to the starting end of the field, if there isn't a human player near your scoring end of the field.
