I think it's defined as bulldozing if the robot continues to move forwards and the ball hits the robot at a high enough speed. What I mean is, if the ball is slowly moving towards the alliance partner and the red robot deliberately makes a motion to hit the ball, that is a launch. But if there was a high speed kick such that the red robot could not move from the balls trajectory in time, that would be deflection. If the red robot makes a motion to impel the ball into a specific direction, it is a launch.
