Thus each time the opposing alliance scores they have to drive all the way across the court to get the ball again.
Balance for bonus points and the win assuming your opponents cant.
Weaknesses in this strategy:
1> when your opponent scores you also are assessed a foul because you now have a ball in the corral that none of your inbounders can immediatly take (they each have 2)(and even if 1 of the inbounders enters a ball onto the field they will be out of position to immediately take a ball from the corral).
2> The recieveing robot is in your opponants alley, and if contacted (regardless of who initiates the contact) will incur a foul.
3> you assume your opponant cannot balance ... I'd not make that assumption.
