I remember watching one of 2485's last qualifying matches and saw their human player use the same type of pass (long pass with some backspin) when their robot was across the field from him. At the time another mentor and I even commented to each other on how good of a human player he was (very careful on the truss catches too).

The match was almost over, our robots couldn't reach the loading spot, and he was trying to quickly get the ball back in play. He shouldn't feel bad about this play in any way.
