dose that we can Capture one ball at a time or heard one ball at a time?
What is the definition of possession?

From Section 7.2 of the Manual,
Quote:
POSSESSION: Controlling the position and movement of a BALL. A BALL shall be considered in POSSESSION if, as the ROBOT moves or changes orientation (e.g. backs up or spins in place), the BALL remains in approximately the same position relative to the ROBOT.
This may help you to understand exactly what you can and can't do with regards to moving the balls around the field.
