Go to Post I just think that if we are going to have rules intended to level the playing field, they shouldn't hurt teams that put the effort in to go the extra mile. - Dave Scheck [more]

But, to address your questions, in my opinion (which counts for nothing at an event) based on my reading of the rules, team updates, and Q&A:

A bump would not be "herding" (and hence not possession) unless it was really obvious that you were propelling the ball to your partner. Some sustained or repeated contact with the ball would be necessary to establish this.

If the ball moves as a result of a mechanism that is in motion relative to your robot (a puncher, wheel, belt, etc) then you have established possession.

There is no requirement that the ball not touch the floor. You can "pass" the ball along the ground.
That's more what I was looking for. Thank you.
