BALLS may not be intentionally or repeatedly ejected from gameplay
but that's a Foul, not a TF. Maybe hitting the opponent's ball into your own goal isn't part of the "normal" way to play this game, but that doesn't mean that it's a foul.

I watched the video, admittedly it was a bad view, from my standpoint G11 was likely violated. In the same case, you could also make a strong case that the robot was also herding or trapping the opponents ball which is a definite TF per G12. It happened fast and would be quite a tough judgement call to make.
...regardless of anything that happens, there should be no booing at competitions, only cheers. True, many of us want to win, but in the end, all of us are working to expand FIRST and to promote the inspiration and recognition of science and technology through gracious professionalism. - Aignam [more]
