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.

I spoke to Woody at the kickoff about this very thing. He stated that goal-tending violations is more of an intent. So if you're intent is to remove or place a 2X ball from a goal and in the process you cause a human player to not score a small ball, then it is my belief that you are not goal tending.
If however you move your bot to a goal and make no attempt to remove a 2X ball but rather you simply linger and hold the 2X over the goal, this would most likely be goal tending.
I would look at intent.
Does this make sense?
