If you use suction then when you back up or spin the ball would come with you, which is the same position relative to the robot. Therefore I think the suction idea is out altogether. Unless you plan on sucking it up and then never moving.

Yes, by using suction you would be possessing the ball. How does this violate any rule? Just because there is a definition of an action, it does not imply that that action is illegal, in fact, if you read rule <G43> you will see that possession is defined as a legal action, if you are only doing it to one ball.
