Scenario: Wedge has PTL and BB8.
1-reveals a green maneuver
2-executes barrel roll action
3-PTL a focus action, gain stress
4-perform green maneuver, lose stress
5-execute target lock
Does the above work in accordance with the rules?

yes
Just note that it follows the same limits as Advanced Sensors. If you're stressed when you reveal your dial, you can't use BB-8. Also, anything that would prevent you from being able to execute a barrel roll will also prevent the use of BB-8.
And it's even more nasty on the t-70. Where you can barrel roll, focus and reposition with boost. It makes them almost interceptor like

I think that may have been the intention. We'll see when the movie comes out and we can finally see them in action.

My god...i missed that one...that 40$ spend to preorder new core just justified itself even more.
"When you reveal a green maneuver, you may perform a free barrel roll action." so yes PTL would kick in for stress (boost or what ever)
green move lose stress. do your action ......that's just insane PTL will end up getting a fix at some stage it things like this carry on

"almost" makes a difference here
You are limited to barrel roll after green maneuver. It's great ability, it's not "TIE Interceptor" level of agility - but with T-70 tough structure, it's really good and fair trade off.
Awesome Astromech.
It's amazing on Wedge.
BB8 allows Wedge to be the slipperiest 1 speed ship in the game. He can slow play like a mad man while avoiding arcs. Getting three to four consecutive turns of firing at full effect without stress is priceless.
I don't think it's supposed to mirror the Interceptor's arc dodging style but create a new one all its own.

You've been able to do that with E-Wing with an R2 Astromech and PtL since the ship was released. I don't believe the game was broken then. Corran or E'than is great when using that combo.

Well, you are not going to avoid too much as BB-8 is limited only to green maneuvers.
Wedge's skill is amazing, unfortunately he is flying X-wing...

I few against a Deci with Ysanne Isard last week. He would just take one action or crash (Oicunn) and not use his PTL. Then wait for Isard to kick in at the start of combat and then PTL is started to piss me off after a while ![]()
