My reccomendation would be that the ball is not part of the robot. I can't even think of a situation where it would make sense to call the ball a part of a robot.

In a sense, yes. But I think they are right to limit the amount of "blocking" of things that you can do in a game. You can already block both chutes with goals. But if they don't call the 2x ball part of the robot in goaltending, then all we would have to do is grab a 2x ball and hold it over the opponents stationary or mobile goal all day long. That would be boring... I don't know.. I'm sure there's many opinions.. but that's the way it is. We'll just have to make sure to ask the judges at nationals what they say about the rule..
