If a robot can unfold itself and funnel balls directly from the troft to the human player zone, while being able to take multiple hits and avoid being moved...you really can't beat them. Of course then again, with some of the strategy nuts on this board, I wouldn't be suprised if someone could think of something.
Line up across from them and push the moveable goal into their ball corral while in autonomous. You wouldn't have any opposition to this because they moved over to get the balls. It would, of course, have to be fast.

You could also inhibit their partner from triggering the small balls in autonomous then go and block their ball corrals with your robot and a goal before the 45 seconds hit. Then they could carry around their 18 balls til doomsday with no way to get them to the hp. If the ball collector bot lacked the ability to hang, they'd have a very tough time winning, I'd imagine.
