I am only concerned in the situation where it satisfy the following condition:

1. GOALTENDING – A ROBOT cannot interfere with a SMALL ball on its downward flight toward a goal or within a goal.

2. <G21> While a ROBOT is holding a LARGE Ball, that ball will be considered an extension of the ROBOT.

3. <G20> ROBOTS cannot GOALTEND either the Mobile or Stationary Goals. If a ROBOT GOALTENDs or de- SCORES any SMALL ball, the referee will throw a green penalty flag and the opponent’s final score will be increased by twice the value of that SMALL ball.

Goaltending only happens when a ROBOT interfer with a small ball on its doward flight toward a goal or within a goal. When the robot is holding a large ball, the large ball is a part of the robot. When the robot ISN'T holding a large ball, it ISN'T a part of the robot.
