Obviously sounds like this shouldn't be allowed, but what rules would it violate?
There is one way around G39 that I can think of that is sorta a gray area: Somehow have a ball feeder that can fit under the low bar (from the opponent's courtyard towards the neutral zone) just enough to push open the flap but no so much as to be touching the carpet of the neutral zone. As you would also be in contact with the outer works, G40 would also be fulfilled. You'd need to also have a good human player who could bowl boulders straight yet powerful enough to consistently get the boulders to roll over the berm and across the neutral zone (presumably doable as per the field tour). The only downside is you would be very vulnerable to a defender parking in the neutral zone to block the shot.

But yes, it is, for now, doable.

(sorta like 469 in 2010, yet like trolling in 2012, risky gray area).
