Similar to the OP's solution, I think that this would probably be physically impossible.
Even if you figure out a way to do it, this robot would be violating G40.

You would receive a tech foul per boulder, unless this robot follows every boulder through the defense. In that case, any robot with an effective floor intake would be able to perform the same function in a more feasible way.
