FIRST would not put anyone's safety at risk by not providing adequate structural side-to-side support if they intended robots to hang from the truss later down the line. Yes there will be a lot of speculation & a lot of hopeful thinking, but maybe we need to look it square in the face & take it at face value. A truss to toss the ball over & remind teams of the height limit.
If on the other hand I have become narrow-minded, then I will eat my words.

Again, don't believe in this but...

That truss is super sturdy. The weight alone will make it hard to tip that thing. If the robots are not swing like monkeys, their weight might actually make it harder to tip. They should act like a pendulum if they are centered. It will take an act of G-d to tip that thing.
