Right, but if you're positioned so that they can't touch the balls without touching you, and your robot does not move, you're in the clear because you're not causing the penalty by hitting them.

I honestly don't think it's a winning strategy, but it's possible that it could be in some circumstances, and thus teams should be prepared to face it just in case.
