What about game pieces?
What rules would prohibit zip-tieing your initial 7 balls to the outside of your robot?
What about stacking balls in a bin such that the balls are taller than 60"?
Thinking outside the box....

As for the zip-tying the initial balls to the outside, that would probably be a violation of <G11>, which says "in or on", as well as <R11>, the size; probably a <G36> violation; it's a hazard to game pieces (so <R05> applies), and those zip ties are probably in violation of the bumper perimeter.

Staking them in a bin would be perfectly legal.
