But that's why we put wheels on them.

Same as basketball. You pass to my right, I go to my right to intercept. It's a long way from the inbound slot to the other side of the barrier wall. Plenty of time to adjust for the incoming pass. Now, I haven't got a robot yet to check the reasonableness of that statement, but I'm thinking it's doable.

I'm not sure about plenty of time, but I don't know for sure.

Also, there is no way to ensure that the opposing team will be bouncing balls in. And if they don't, then you have to completely change your strategy.

Defense is that way. You can't defend against something that isn't used.

Exactly. All I am saying is that I wouldn't rely on it as my primary strategy. I see it more as a back-up strategy if a team starts to bounce pass a lot of balls in.
