G17 (ball return time limit) penalties in endgame

Your result indicates that the ball must be returned 6 seconds after the buzzer.
Which brings up an interesting question - Can you return balls after the buzzer? You return a ball after the buzzer it bounces off you hanging robot and goes into the goal - Does it count?

Also the game manual states,"In general, this means that the team will have 11 seconds to return a BALL to the FIELD once it is SCORED, and an additional 4 seconds for each successive BALL in the ALLIANCE STATION, until all BALLS are returned to the FIELD."

I believe the equation gives you 15 secs to return the first ball and 4 additional seconds for each additional ball.

Is Texpire continually recalculated as balls are added or is it calculated once for each ball?
