The only problem with this assumption is that would be ramming! You don't understand how much I hate it when teams do this. You also need to remember that there are the bumpers that will help protect the robot and then (my guess) there will be teams that have devises to keep themselves in one position.
My thoughts are that 30% of teams will be able to score at least 20 balls in 40 seconds given that the goal is
unguarded (i.e. no robot interfering). But if those same robots are being guarded against then 25% of them would be able to get the 5 balls in the goal.
