The issue here is, I believe, intent. The intent of the rule is to prevent teams from building a device that prevents shots from being scored, or using a ball as such a device. The blue team's behavior breaks neither of these rules. Redabot is trying to play the game correctly, by getting the ball to cap a goal, and the blue team is cheaply trying to use a loophole to score some quick points. If I was a ref, I would award the Blue team no points and a stern lecture.

I'm also of the mind that, if a team doesn't dawdle in capping their opponent's goal, they shouldn't be called for goaltending if a ball or two happens to hit the big ball. The goaltending intent was not there, so the goaltending call shouldn't be there.
