I totally agree that this is a great strategy. I have two concerns: 1) most teams will have trouble making a thrower that can be consistent at that distance. 2) if the human player misses, does it count as intentionally ejected from field and draw a foul?

We need a ruling on incomplete pass to HP.

The HUMAN Player on the side of the field is also used able to return the BALL that leaves the field per section 3.1.2.

This allows an inbound on the scoring side of the field versus the ALLIANCE side.

On 1) -- Those teams shouldn't try this strategy, then.
On 2) -- I very much doubt it, if they try to catch it. Practice makes perfect!
