Sometimes refs can't judge intention very well. Blatant intention will almost always be called, however. If Blueabot can only herd at that time, no penalty (not in possession). If they can launch, and they act like they are going to, I'd probably call a penalty on Redabot, but if they aren't even trying, no penalty

Oh, and the decision I made earlier--Reversed; nothing was said about a trackball. Period. They could all be in the other corner. No penalty.
