If the rules were black and white the manual would be one page long.

I think it would be fairly easy to classify a robot. Using last years game as an example: if your robot has a mechanism that can launch the ball into the air, it is a centergoal shooter.

If it has a way to capture, hold or store balls, and dump them into the side goals, it is a dumper.

If all your robot can do at best if push balls around with a flat surface, with no captive edges on the 'plow', then it is purely defensive.
