There are threads that have discussed this, as well as having more than one tetra on your robot.

You can place their tetras out of bounds, but seems like more time you spend doing that, while they just go load up on another one meanwhile. Those that go out of bounds, will come back in.
Though - yes, it would be good defense if you had the time to steal it from under their goal and plop it outside.. that could be useful if simply removing it from under the goal wasn't effective.

Yes, you can carry more than one tetra on your robot at a time.

Or, they will thank you when they pick it up, rather than waiting for the HP (if on that side)... and assuming they can pick it off the ground..
I haven't seen a rule against placing a tetra in their loading zone area, so long as their robot isn't there already and you interfere.
