The rule change may impact some of the teams, depending on the mechanism that provides the "final dynamic impulse", and any with aiming devices outside of the 28 x 38 footprint.
Ball collectors that could be run in reverse to deploy balls into the lower goals are now illegal, if the mechanism providing the "final dynamic impulse" is outside of the 28 x 38 footprint - If the thing that provides the "final dynamic impulse" remains within the footprint, it is legal to deploy using that mechanism into the lower goal.
Any aiming devices mounted outside of the 28 x 38 footprint, and used in conjunction with the aiming of the "lower goal shooter" (ball collector run in reverse), now makes deploying in the lower goal illegal per the definition released in update 6.
In addition, I assume that protecting the mechanism is now also required as it is considered a "shooter".
Since there are many design variations of ball collectors, each team will need to determine
1) what is the mechanism that provides the "final dynamic impulse"
2) Does it stay within the 28 x 38 footprint
3) Is it protected (except for the entrance/exit opening)

That's how I see this -
