But that's why we put wheels on them.

Same as basketball. You pass to my right, I go to my right to intercept. It's a long way from the inbound slot to the other side of the barrier wall. Plenty of time to adjust for the incoming pass. Now, I haven't got a robot yet to check the reasonableness of that statement, but I'm thinking it's doable.
