Yes! it is possible. The ball is about 7 inches. A cube that would hold the ball would have a volume of 7^3 or 343 cubic inches. The volume allowed for the robot is 60X60X60 inches. That is 216000 cubic inches. 343 into 216000 is just over 629. If the robot didn't expand the volume would be 64904 cubic inches. Divide that by 343 and you get 189. Collecting all the balls would still leave about half the volume for other robot parts!

Brought to you by a member of team 343 (7^3).
