Rail Diversion

We are looking into diverting balls from the ball return.

Now under rule [<G45> Active BALL control - ROBOTS may not control BALL direction with active MECHANISMS above the BUMPER ZONE. Violation: PENALTY.]

Does this mean that an active MECHANISM may not be used to Speed the ball up? Because my interpretation of this is that as long as we aren't changing the direction inadvertently, but changing the speed of the ball it is alright?
