If a defending robot came down the secret passage and pushed you down with more moment than the counter weight, you would incur (repeated?) G21 fouls. You would also have to get rid of balls faster than humans can load you or else you could ring up G38 fouls. (or avoid new balls if you already have one)

Would love to see someone address these concerns though
