To me, "launch" means other than rolling on the ground.

Does anything prevent a robot from being in the opponent's Secret Passage area (not in the Neutral Zone), and kicking (punching) a boulder hard enough that it rolls under the Low Bar?

How fast does the boulder have to be rolling to breach the Cordura flap?
Your robot would project the ball from the secret passage, to the neutral zone and then into the courtyard. There isn't a scenario where that isn't the case I can see.
