Reasoning: Assume all three UberAlliance bots (or at least the Goalie Bot) can find ANY balls located in their zone with their CAMERA, and have programs that simply state to "forward them, or if I am the Goalie score it". (Also assume they are all smart enough NOT to cross the line.)
Next, assume the other alliance "fumbles" at least one ball, and it rolls into this alliance's side.

There is a secondary way that this could happen. Since ball return timing is active during autonomous (blue note under <G49>), there should be balls re-entering the field during autonomous if the first ball is scored in the first four seconds of autonomous. It is theoretically possible for the UberAlliance midfielder to get into position to deflect a ball as it falls off the return without completely crossing the line, although it would be a very risky move

. After which, one of the UberAlliance bots might be able to score it depending on where it lands.
Any alliance that can do that successfully during autonomous deserves a standing ovation.
