If you look at the rules and read them carefully, you will see that
yes if the
robot throws the ball, that is legal. The rules do not specify how the robot moves the ball, only that the ball must be totally free at the time of impact with the pins.

Precise Scoring Conditions:
1 to 5 pins down: 7 each
or
6 pins down: 60
method restriction:
each pins fall must be caused by impact from a completely loose and independent ball (not touching or
guided by anything at the time of impact) or another loose/independent pin. Pins falling for any other
reason are worth 0.
