Yeah. Specifically, in years past, it's said that no part of the body could break the plane of the plexiglass. So adressing the original question, if you can maneuver in such a way that you can hold the ball over the playing field without your fingers breaking the afforementioned plane, you'd be okay. I'd imagine they'd be calling it the same way this year, as the only rule I see about it is that <G09> rule that David pointed out.
EDIT
Also, if the robot breaks that plane going the other way, you can't come into contact with it whatsoever (it's one of the safty rules), and I'm pretty sure that superceeds the previous ruling. <G28> was the closest rule I could find, and it does mention specifically breaking that plane (even though it only specifically mentions the ball corral). Technically, since a plane is infinite, that'd include going over the plexiglass. And it's a safety concern anyway, so I'd imagine the refs will take it that way.
