Not clearly seeing from the video how 469 uses the bumps to deflect balls, the bumps are not part of the end zones - they are part of the middle zone (The Arena, section 6.2.3), so one robot defender would be free to defend one goal while another was on the bump to block the other direction. The robot on the bump would have to take care not to touch 469's end zone when climbing up there or would coordinate with its partner to get on the bump first before the partner entered the end zone to defend the other goal.

Am I missing something here?
Not really, but already discussed some in the other thread. I think this OP is trying to come up with a single bot that can stop balls in both directions by jamming the Ball redirector with balls, so the other defender can just deal with the 2 bot other bots in the zone.
