Deflecting versus launching isn't related to in-vs-out of the field. Launching is to a "desired" location, but if the refs thought this location was desired, a G11 would be up. Launching for its part, though, also requires a mechanism in motion relative to the robot. I don't see this in the video, and if this is so, the action cannot meet the definition of launched. If it was indeed a G12 instead of a G11 (I don't see "intentionally" in the video, but I wasn't there), then it wasn't G12c. I suspect there are some ref crews out there that would call it G12b.

Actually, G27 does not require strategy--it can include strategy and/or game play. If the damaging game play was determined to include "actions such as high-speed or repeated, aggressive ramming, attachment, tipping, or entanglement", G27 is warranted regardless of strategic intent.
