I'm not sure - I could see back-to-back-to-back Rube Goldberg (or robot centipede, if you will....) type things where three bots mush together, feed the ball through all three cozied up together, and the last one trusses to HP and/or scores the ball. Kinda hokey. Kinda boring.
Perhaps up to two assists can occur in any zone in a cycle, instead of just one?
Or split the field in half, eliminating the white zone. You'd still mark off neutral colored lines to maintain an autonomous lineup reference. To get three assists, you need at least one assist to take place on each side of the truss per cycle.
