moves around the field is allowed. Controlled "herding" of a single GAME PIECE lying on
the floor is permitted as long as no other GAME PIECE is in the POSSESSION of the
ROBOT. Herding of multiple GAME PIECES, or herding of a GAME PIECE on the floor
while in POSSESSION of another GAME PIECE is not permitted (as this would be
considered POSSESSION of more than one GAME PIECE).
What if you were blocking an opposing robot from scoring, and they happened to drop the inner tube onto your robot while you already had one in your possession and the one they dropped on you did not roll off. Would this be considered as being "in possession" of the inner tube?
Thank you.

Technically yes, but it should probably go to the FIRST Q&A. Obviously this is not the reason for the rule, so it's possible that they'll change it to allow for this. Designing a robot to put ringers on your opponents is legal under the current rules, but is against the spirit of the rules in my opinion.
EDIT: Sorry, didn't see that Pavan responded first.
