A robot right there makes it kind of unsafe to put a new one in, wouldn't you say? (IIRC, there was a robot in the immediate vicinity for quite a while.)

I can see where some may say that, but I don't think it'd be unsafe to toss it over the robots and onto the floor.
The person reintroducing the trackballs onto the field does not have to step foot onto the field, or reach over the field border.
There seemed to be a lack of understanding of where and when balls should be reintroduced to the field at SVR in general. In a previous match a ball went out of bounds and was returned to the quadrant PRIOR to that which it exited the field from.

I thought it was a blue bot, but my memory is fuzzy.
