The way I read <G10>, "not in contact," could mean one of a few things. What if you're arms just sort of...incase the sides of the ball. The bottom, grazing the floor. Then, technically you're "in possession" according to this definition:
Quote:
POSSESSION: Controlling the position and movement of a TRACKBALL while the TRACKBALL is supported or captured by an ALLIANCE shall be considered POSSESSION of the TRACKBALL. ... A TRACKBALL shall be considered “captured” by a ROBOT if, as the ROBOT moves or changes orientation (e.g. backs up or spins in place), the TRACKBALL remains in approximately the same
position relative to the ROBOT. Both the “supported” and “captured” conditions include the case where the TRACKBALL is also in contact with the floor.

BUT, you're not actually "IN CONTACT." Would you get 2 points, or not?
