As a result, we'll probably wind up doing the pass to human player and then dump to a middleman bot who passes to the scorer.
I agree. I think we will see quite a few renditions of the strategy used by 2013 during the eliminations of Western Cananda with a pass from the inbounder to a trusser. Truss from close to inbounding point to human, inbound to robot that is waiting. Then score.
