Re: Can an immobile robot POSSESS a BALL?
From Merriam-Webster dictionary...

1car·ry verb \ˈka-rē, ˈker-ē\
: to move (something) while holding and supporting it

: to contain and direct the flow of (water, electricity, etc.)

: to have (something) with you or on your body

Looks like one could apply either of the last two definitions to argue even a stationary robot could be "carrying" the ball if it is an "etcetera".
