It is definitely possible, that was all I worked on for the first week or two of the build season. However, it is kind of hard to account for all of the robots that will be winding in and out of the space in front of the opposing lower goals. They would either deflect balls from a human player or just suck them up and use them for something else like shooting.

On defense, two of the robots can be over in the end near their alliance human players "defending" against the other robots. Why can't they block a corner corral and have their human player load balls over the wall into their hopper?

If I read your post correctly, you are right - the human players can load balls into the hopper of the backbot while the other two robots are playing defense. Blocking a goal to manually load balls while the other 5 robots are on the other half of the field should not be a problem.
