Re: G12 Clarification

The way I've read the rule is that this could be legal and illegal. Two examples follow:

Legal:
If the blue balls is in motion and hits a red robot, then it is considered deflection.

Illegal:
If the blue ball is in motion or stationary and a red robot hits the ball it is considered launching.

*To put it short and sweet, ball hits robot, Legal. Robot hits ball, Illegal.
