I don't really understand how a robot placed adjacent to the centerline would ever interfere with a kick aimed at the goal.

With some quick math (27ft field/2 = 14/5 ft., 14.5 ft.-6ft ball grid = 8.5 ft., 8.5ft / 2 = 4.25 ft.) I come up with the closest set of dots to the centerline being 4.25 ft. away. That means that a robot easily fits between the soccer ball and the centerline.

Given that you are kicking the soccer ball away from the centerline towards the goal (unless you really want to shoot across the field into a goal the opponent can block), a robot placed as close to the centerline as possible should never interfere with a kick that would otherwise be successful.
