A referee's job is to enforce the rules, not make up new ones. As much as we'd sometimes like to help out teams, we can't do so if the rules don't allow it. If the rules are amended to define a ball in an E-Stopped robot as field debris, we will so decide. If the rules remain as is, we can't do it.
