There is indeed a rule against this. I don't have the time to find exactly where it is, but it is ILLEGAL to have two of an alliance's robots in the opposing alliance's zone. This essentially curtails any strategy of goal-keeping.

The other thing that ought to keep you from doing this is the Co-Opertition Bonus. The winning alliance receives 2x the unpenalized score of the losing alliance, counted separately. (So if you win a match by 12-1, you really are just hurting yourself). I'm not sure if this is vice-versa (losing alliance gets 2x the winning alliance), but I've seen that mentioned here.


Rule of thumb in the future: READ THE MANUAL!
