It really depends on what kind of ball pickup mechanism you have, right?
If you have to toss balls into your hopper, you had better have a good human player!
I don't really see the viability of making goals all the way across the 50-something foot field, over the 6-foot wall.
The robot has a hard enough time making goals from half court!

If it's rampaging around destroying things it's a programming problem.
