I think stealing balls would only be practical if you were already attached to another goal. You could funnel them directly into the goal attached to your back. But once again that brings you back to moving the goals around.... ohh well... but wait... what if you had a huge robot that could have a goal in both scoring zones on opposite sides of the field, and a giant conveyor belt between them... that way you could balance the score as the game develops.... make it precisely 66-64....

ahh well... I tried but I can't think of a design which does the above....
