It would depend on the definition of 'active' as to whether or not you could change the direction the ball went in (i.e. is the mechanism passive if it is in place and not moving when the ball hits it?)

What if the robot inverted itself as it climbed the tower, so that its bottom was facing up? Then ACTIVE mechanisms (bot not POSSESSING mechanisms) could be used to swat the ball or alter ball deflection surfaces toward one goal or another.
