<G21> While a ROBOT is holding a LARGE Ball, that ball will be considered an extension of the ROBOT.

"...As long as the descored ball was not touched by the opposing robot, there would be no penalty..."

It seems to me FIRST is making a distinction between a robot holding a ball and touching a ball. The question becomes, what defines holding? Using some common sense (as Dean has reminded us to do), the distinction seems clear in most cases. For instance if someone asked you if you were holding or touching a tennis ball, I think you'd be able to give them an easy answer. Apply this same reasoning to a robot and a big yellow ball.
