Since the robot starts the match from a "disabled" state, your simple solution will prevent a ball from being held as the match begins.
I'll be suggesting a slightly more complex solution, with a plate or something on the side of the robot that releases the ball when pressed by another robot but which is mechanically inhibited whenever the robot is enabled.
