ONLY way this is possible is if the alliance member threw (or bounced) the ball over the driver station. OR if one of the volunteers mistakenly returned the ball to the field.
In my previous post, I said... "to go back onto the field through the rails and not go through the sensors."
The sensor system is 1 foot (that's 12 inches) behind the player station wall. If the ball was placed onto the rails, it
HAS to go through the system
BEFORE it goes past the driver station wall.
If you watch the NJ regional
Finals, Match 2 (around 1:15). You can see that a ball goes back into the playing field, BUT illegally. The ball is placed improperly onto the rail, falls and then bounces off the head of a driver and into the field. This would action would fall under the category of throwing (or bouncing in this case) the ball over the alliance station wall.
