We were interpreting the rules as no corralling or holding the ball. Maybe we are reading to much into the possession rule. It would be better if we could put sides on the frame to keep the ball from sliding out.

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.
