It is legal to take the 2X ball off the opponent's goal, but, consider this:

If you are using an arm to grab the 2x ball, as long as the ball is in your robot's arm, it is considered a part of the robot. When opponent's human player shoot a small ball toward the goal you are taking the 2X ball away from, and hit the 2X ball, you will be considered goaltending.

That could be an interesting part of strategy. If you are going for the opponents' 2X ball on a goal, you better watch out for their human player because if you don't, you may get the penality for goaltending. Whatever decive you design for that task have to do it quick and fast.
