Our concern has been that the movement of the robot's drivetrain alone may be enough to impart "active" properties unto an otherwise inactive robot feature. If the top of a robot is sloped and a ball bounces off of it inadvertently, surely this cannot violate the rules, but if the robot is moving while that happens such that the ball is directed advantageously, is that a significantly different behavior? It's a weird question.
