Since the blue team is attempting to retrieve the yellow ball to cap a goal, they aren't goal tending, so the yellow ball is not an extension of the robot.

Yes, but since goaltending is the act of impeding a balls downward flight toward a goal... and a 2x is considered part of the robot in the case of goaltending... then once you grab and have hold of that 2x ball, if you're still in the way of someone's shot, you can get called for goaltending. It doesn't matter what the intention was.
Yes they may be retrieving a 2x ball from the goal, but you gotta do it quick. That's just part of the game. Most times I see the mobile goal being uncapped before it's been moved, and I haven't seen too many uncappings of the stny goal, but the ones I have seen, it's right at the end of the match... So far, I haven't really seen goaltending a big issue anyways, I think a lot of strategies haven't called for it.... or else everyone's afraid of getting called for it, so they play their own offense.
