I think so... but I would argue that that would have to be a very good sensor system to detect that, particularly live on the field.
Just as a design thing (not really related, but I'm interested), it'd probably be easier to put a location sensor within each bolder. Location can be accelerometer/gyro combo with a tiny controller. Of course, I'm not a fan of making those boulders even more expensive...
