That part's pretty obvious. The question Blay, and the rest of our team, is asking, is, what entails "have"? Is it "contain" as in have inside the frame perimeter? Or, is it "used" as in touching the robot in any way (more along the lines of the broader definition for "active control")? Is it an either/or/both situation?

For an example: "Contain" may be like 2009 where the balls started inside your robot but never on the field, just touching the robot. "Used" may be like 2011 where the ubertubes just had to touch the robot bumpers, even though the robot could also hold a tube.

Because G01 uses the word "may", that implies that we don't have to "contain" the balls to count them as "used" (and therefore not destined for the coopertition bridge) as in G05.
