It just seems to me that this doesn't seem like a competitive main way to get the balls in your robot. 1.) You can't assume that your team mate will be able to hand them off to you and 2.) How accurate really, is your human going to be? There's a big wall in front of them... and 3.) It will slow down / complicate your robot.
Just doesn't seem like a great strategy.
