You could hoard an amount of balls in your lane given that when they enter your lane and you tap them it gives you three points. Essentially if your inbounders held 6 balls and your robots held 9 then the other three could be hoarded in the lane. This could work as long as the guarding robot was a significant distance away from the loose balls so it wouldn't be considered controlling the ball.
