Edit: I believe it would be illegal because the robot is giving an impulse to the balls by moving the hopper. Seems absurd when the update from FIRST causes their animation to be illegal...

But it's not really giving it an impulse. Unless the hopper violently flops over and sends the balls flying out, they are simply being released, and moved by gravity.
