Emphasis mine.
I think this rule is ambiguous; it can be argued effectively that such a mechanism impels the ball in an arbitrary direction not at all determined or "desired" by the drivers.
It could also be argued that there is a "desired" direction, namely "not towards the goal."
Without a clarification, the legality of such a mechanism is unclear.
