Re: Inbounding or Hoarding Balls

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.
You are still controlling the balls when they are in your alley:

Moving or positioning a Basketball to gain advantage is considered actively controlling. Examples are “carrying” (holding Basketballs in the Robot), “herding” (intentionally pushing or impelling Basketballs to a desired location or direction) and “trapping” (pressing one or more Basketballs against a Court element in an attempt to shield them).
