My guess is that you'll not be able to build it strong enough to withstand a strong blow from the ball (remember, some teams will shoot the trackball and it has a decent amount of mass) and if you do build it strong enough then you will be very top heavy and will likely end up on your side, blocking traffic and incurring penalties for the remainder of the match.
