Is it possible to score a ball without POSSESSing it?

There are no rules that say "the last robot in contact with an alliance ball must be a member of the same alliance"

Otherwise, goalie blocked shots would not count either.



Section 3.1.4 Scoring

An opponent ROBOT that contacts, but fails to stop a BALL from going over the TRUSS or in a GOAL has not caused either of these actions and does not invalidate the SCORE.
