The
2016 FIRST Field Tour Video makes reference to how the feeder stations and how they are intended to be used.
One quote from the
video is:
"It is imperative for your own safety that you don't reach through these openings, even a little bit. The embrasure is a tight fit for the boulders, so your human player will need accurate bowling skills."
My interpretation of the quote from the video is that FIRST will not want or allow human players to kick the ball through the openings if there is a possibility that their foot could 'reach through' one of the openings, for safety reasons.
