Isn't that goalie zone very near to where you'd want to be inbounding balls? The video link above in the thread shows the goalie deploying a net and catching a ball tossed into the field. So the goalie actually becomes the possessing bot in that first zone. If the goalie is busy with the one-and-only opponent game piece at the moment inbound is needed, the inbounder could toss the ball further upfield to a mate, or a mate could inbound that cycle. So goalie could probably inbound about half of the balls for the alliance (unless they are a really good goalie, in which case your opponent is going to spend the rest of the match in their offense zone trying to clear their blocked autonomous balls and trying to pin and push the goalie around
