Can you have a hole in your robot that lines up with the outpost portal so you can just shove the thing right into your bot without risking it falling on the ground and being stolen? And wouldn't that make it very quick and painless? If you happen to be near your outpost, get on the carpet, drive past the portal, stop for a second (with the traction from the carpet) and keep going? Build up momentum on the carpet, and then swerve onto the regolith in a straight line to an alliance fueling station. That should take what? 10 seconds? And if you have a passive ball collector you could pick up some balls while you do it, especially if you do this right after a dump. It seems like it could be effective.
