Well you are allowed to cross the plane with one appendage on the robot. You are allowed to cross 14" (inches) like you stated. And you can go a max of like 9 feet high if you were able to tilt whatever you were dropping the balls with, well at an angle and about 2 feet higher the velocity of the balls would take it the extra inches. You could even put a motor at the edge with a roller on each side to give it power at very close range.

Hope this helped. (My First Post)
