Feeding VS. Throwing tubes into Play?

According to the rule G49, this would be illegal - assuming that this would be some sort of direct hand off. (Fetcher Holds Tube, Scorer Grabs Tube, Fetcher Releases Tube).

<G49> ROBOTS may not attempt to POSSESS a GAME PIECE that is being POSSESSED by
another ROBOT.
Violation: PENALTY

I was hoping that this would be amended to allow the passing of game pieces between Alliance Partners, but it hasn't happened yet, so I wouldn't count on it.
