[OCCRA]: [OCCRA]: Human player actions and unintentional possessions

[Aaron Yanich]

Under rule GR17, if a robot comes to possess the opposing alliance's ball by the intentional action of the opposing alliance, will it be held responsible for the possession of that ball?

Rule GR7 states that "Human players may not throw balls out of the playing area or into a goal." Does this apply to thrown balls that first contact an alliance robot before landing into a goal?

Rule GR7 also states that "HPs may not intentionally throw balls at: spectators, the opponents‟ HP, drivers, coaches, VEX areas, or robots." Does this prohibit human players from intentionally throwing balls into reflective/ball-guiding mechanisms on their alliance's robots?
