Right, but it doesn't say anywhere in the rules that goalie bots are exempt from the definition of launching. Remember, the definition of launching is
Quote:

“launching” (impelling BALLS to a desired location or direction)

. Impelling implies active control of the ball. Based on this, a robot that is launching a ball is one that is actively controlling the ball before hand and it exerts a force on the ball in order for it to go to a specific or desired location or direction.
Go up to FIRST Q&A and submit for a rule clarification if you feel this definition is too loose (i'll admit, possession rules are kind of unclear and vague in my opinion as well.)
