Ways to Handle Gears

I had a quick questions about how a robot can handle a gear. So according to the rule manual, a robot is not allowed to launch or shoot a gear. How would one define that a robot is shooting a gear? Would it be that it is in the air or would shooting still count if the gear is sliding across the floor (maintaining full contact with the carpet)? Also, would rolling a gear be considers shooting/launching? This may be a strange questions but just wanted to know what someone outside of our team thinks about this rule. Thank you for all the input!
