What I read in the manual is that if your robot has a ball on top of it whether intentional or not, it will be deemed a penalty. They also made a mention of recommending that teams build their robots so that no balls could wind up sitting on top of your robot. If a ball is moving on top of your robot, I would like to think that it is not a penalty in that a penalty only comes when a ball is at rest on your robot, but I would check in FIRST QandA just to check.
