That is why coaches need to know the rules and when to challenge. If they had a copy of Q&A 170 with them I believe they could have challenged.

Game - The Game » Game Rules
Q170 Q. Regarding possession of opposing alliance's ball: If a robot is attempting to score a 1-pt goal, if an appendage of a defending robot either a) holds the ball from dropping into the top of the goal or b) causes the ball to be "pinned" as it's pushed in the front goal, would it be illegal possession?
