Given the many ways to commit fouls when on the defensive side of the field, this may be fairly difficult to do. Sort of like walking in a minefield.

A B robot could be made exactly like those from the 2010 game and be pretty effective. Of course, the ability to score from the defensive side of the field would be even better. But, even shooting and missing gets the B's job done.
Very true, and completely understandable. I may have initially underestimated the size of the key, but there appear to be a few safe spots for opposing robots to starve balls. For the B robot, as long as the balls get to the offensive zone, B is doing his job. As stated before, shooting into the hoop would be a 2-in-1 deal.
