Not quite.
They've tried to assemble alliances that establish ball advantage in autonomous mode. if that happens, you've got a very much uphill battle.
If the cycle needs a few more balls, all they do is pop out of the tunnel and kick some over. They're a decent feeder bot even without their deflection.
