Parking a robot in the corner of the court with basketballs between the court boundaries and your robot is neither carrying, herding, nor trapping. No touchy, no trappy.

I agree with your interprentation and in no way view it as unsportsmanlike. There has been nothing wrong with slowing the game down and hoarding game pieces in past games (other than 2008 when you couldn't control your opponents trackball).
According to the Q&A, one issue with that strategy is that if you touch the opponents robot in your ally, you get a red card due to G45. Its a ruling I completely disagree with, but it is what it is...
