Passing/Trapping - Assist?

It just occurred to me: Trapping is "holding ... Balls agasint a ... Robot".

Situation 1: Two red bots are passing a ball between each other - bot to bot with bumpers touching. As soon as Bot 2 touches the ball, is that considered possession by Bot 2?

Situation 2: On carpet pass between Bot 1 and Bot 2. Bot 2 is having trouble picking it up. Bot 1 pushes the ball against Bot 2 to assist in the pickup. At some point, the ball is trapped between Bot 1 and Bot 2 while Bot 2 is trying to pick it up.

Are not both situations considered Trapping Possessions? The ball can be considered trapped by Bot 2 against Bot 1. So, does Bot 2 get a deemed possession?
