Seems the only way to get that inital inbound assist is for the inbounding team to hold the ball in their machine.

If the purpose of the game is to work together, we need to make it easier for teams to contribute to their alliance.

Although, I'm not convince the refs can tell the difference between deliberate and accidental bumping of a ball. This would probably just add more penalties to the game.
Agreed. According to the rules, the same definition for POSSESSION and HERDING is supposed to apply whether you're touching your own game ball or the opponents'.

Sometimes a team gets called for any little bump of the opponents' ball. That is not the way it's supposed to be called, in my opinion, because one tap is not possession.

The change to a regular foul for unintentionally or inconsequential POSSESSION is a good change. However, I suspect that referees will have a hard time distinguishing between POSSESSION and CONTACT when making this call, and a lot 20 point fouls will be called when a robot touches the other team's ball for any reason and with any result.
