I had a similar idea, but I have a strong feeling that it would be deemed in violation of G45.
It also requires a relatively loose interpretation of POSSESSION.
If your robot would move, and that ball would move with it at any time during your little manipulation move, even if you succeeded in flipping your robot and having everything extend out the bottom, you'd be in POSSESSION, and since the ball would not be in contact with the field, you'd be CARRYING.
Also, based on the GDC response to G45:
Quote:

Incidental contact with MECHANISMS or COMPONENTS that do not control the direction of the BALL is permitted.

Could we conclude that intentional contact with MECHANISMS or COMPONENTS that contol the direction of the BALL is not permitted?
