If you look at the answer given, there is a note about "trapping" being a possibility. See the blue box in [G22]. So, if you did this with more than 3 basketballs, you could get a foul per extra basketball.
I don't think I would need to avoid contact with opposing robot when in my lane. If I herd 5 balls into the lane (never touching more than 2 at a time), I should be able to strafe along the lane and block the opposing robots from getting to the balls. If we both end up in the lane and I push them away from the balls, I'd be pissed if I got a red card. The strategy isn't to draw penalites but to block them from getting to the balls.
