I think that Most judges will allow robots to have "Springs" or other devices ont heir robot no matter what it is they do as long as it is confined and not able to dismantle another robot. Like if a robot had some device that shot 1+ feet in any direction thats outside of their starting box, they would probably deem it unsafe, especially if you need 7+m/s force to get a ball up.
