If the blue ball is in motion or stationary and a red robot hits the ball it is considered launching.

*To put it short and sweet, ball hits robot, Legal. Robot hits ball, Illegal.
This is also open for interpretation as well. For the second scenario, if the red robot inadvertently hits it, that's "bulldozing", and that's perfectly legal. I think the only way to really see the difference between launching and bulldozing or deflecting is the intent to not only block, but to control the ball.
