I wouldn't be worried about robot-robot contact moving the robot while it is pressed against two angles that are perpendicular. In-fact, if another robot COULD move a robot in this position, I would be very impressed.
However, robot-robot contact may provide enough of a "jiggle" to knock balls out of the system.
