If so that seems like a viable strategy for a human player to pass a ball to their robot for cherry pick shooting. if anyone knows if this is a rules violation please let me know.

There's an ongoing discussion regarding the low bar flap in itself, which seemed to get permanently rolled over the bar after a few robots went through it. Theoretically, the ball could go through the low bar in a situation like this, where there would be no obstruction to the boulder. Normally, the low bar flap is definitely far too heavy to allow a boulder through at the distance it's at from the human player station. The other thing that you have to take into account is the border of the secret passage, which could possibly cause boulders to deflect away from the low bar.
