Innovative way to pick balls up. Have you considered what will happen to your mechanism if you have a head on collision as you and your opponent race to pick up the same ball? Looks like it's pretty beefy so my guess is that your mechanism will survive. I might be more concerned that your roller jumps over the opponent's bumper and damages something on their robot. Per rule [G27] you could be penalized or yellow carded regardless of your intent.
[G27]
Deliberate or damaging contact with an opponent Robot on or inside its Frame Perimeter is not allowed. Violation: Technical-Foul and potential Yellow Card
High speed accidental collisions may occur during the Match and are an expected part of the game. Robots place mechanisms outside of the Frame Perimeter at their own risk; no penalties will be assigned for contact between two such extended mechanisms.
A Robot with a mechanism outside of its Frame Perimeter may be penalized under this rule if it appears they are using that mechanism to purposefully contact another Robot inside its Frame Perimeter. Regardless of intent, a Robot with a mechanism outside its Frame Perimeter that causes damage to another Robot inside of its Frame Perimeter will be penalized.
Repeated or egregious violations of this rule will earn the offending Robot a Yellow Card.
I guess you can avoid this situation with careful driving.
