Re: Passing/Trapping - Assist?

This is super gray area. But yes, that is an assist.

If you can find match video of the Finger Lakes Regional, that was the strategy consistently used by FRC Team 1511. It would go something like: Receive inbounded ball, hold the ball up to their alliance partners until it was scored as an assist, release the ball, pick it back up, go to the next unique robot a unique zone and repeat for a full 3 assists before shooting.

Definitely gray-area strategy, but allowable in the manual. I'm sure CD User pandemonium can elaborate as he's the strategy mentor for that team.
