Goaltending is specifically defined as interfering with a small ball on its downward flight toward or within a goal. If they start heaving balls at your robot and it is not between them and the goal on the downward path of the balls, no problem. It's not goaltending.

I can foresee issues if the HPs start targeting a robot in the process of capping a goal. However, I doubt if they will nail you if you get in the way of your own HPs. And, if you are capping the opposing alliance's goal for them, you merely cease capping their goal for them since the small balls with which they are targeting you will have been given double points (which is why you were capping their goal for them in the first place).
