Can you tell me what part of this rule defines that as possession?
So you are telling me that a robot can purposefully score a ball and never possess it?

To answer your second question, I would call it herding.

To score in the goal, it takes one push to get the ball up the bump on the front of the goal, and one to push it down the ramp. Against the wall, one bump to push the ball upwards, and one to knock it out.

Edit: Trap works too...from the definition of possess in the glossary:

"trap (overt isolation or holding one or more BALLS against a FIELD element or ROBOT in an attempt to shield them) a BALL."
