While that much is obvious, it's still not quite clear what "contain" means:

1. Ball in completely enclosed container.
2. Ball in partially enclosed container; ball does not stick out of enclosure or touch anything but the robot (and the atmosphere).
3. Ball in partially enclosed container; ball sticks out of enclosure, but does not touch anything but the robot (and the atmosphere).
4. Ball in partially enclosed container; ball sticks out of enclosure, and touches the ground and/or another robot (and the robot and the atmosphere).
5. Ball in partially enclosed container; ball sticks out of enclosure, and outside of actual robot dimensions (either bumpers included/bumpers excluded).
6. Ball in partially enclosed container; ball sticks out of enclosure, and outside of maximum robot dimensions (either bumpers included/bumpers excluded).
7. Ball is pinched (so a portion of it is "contained" in the gripper).
8. Other variations on and combinations of the above that would be tedious to list.
