Actually, I disagree, at least on the intent of this rule. I think this is trying to prohibit teams from creating anti-aircraft air cannons to shoot opponents' fuel off-target.
Assuming that you aren't sustaining a stream of pressurized air as the ball continues out of the robot, I think it's very reasonable to think that this rule allows a ball to be shot from within the volume of the robot using pressurized air.
