The out of bounds rule says if your robot has to put force on something outside the playing field to return to play it will be disabled. Its pretty much reffering to landing on the carpet outside the field or getting a hook stuck on the railing/steel cable, etc...
The time it would take you to balance the ball up there is probably not even worth it, why not just push the ball deep into a goal if you want it not to be used?

A rule states that a robot may not cross the top of the 7' wall. I would assume that since the big ball is part of the robot, when being held by it (As I recall from an update/Q&A, I think), they would disable your robot for crossing the plane of the 7' wall.

The ball is an extension of the robot when its being held, so according to that you would be disabled.
