Re: Passing/Trapping - Assist?

It looked to me that Titanium's teammate clearly took possession of the ball in that technique. Titanium may or may not lose contact, but their teammate was deciding where the ball was going (which is for me a logical summary of the "Possession" definition). They also have to activate their roller to get control back.
1511's technique was clearly different: in many cases going up to the side of a robot that is not moving, rolling the ball forward within the manipulator until it touches the partner robot and the ground. The touched robot gets a possession credit and 1511 moves on. The difference is that 1511 never lost control of the ball - at any point in the operation, they could back up and the ball would still come with them.
