The definition of POSSESSION is spelled out pretty clearly in the rule you quoted. A ball is either possessed or not, it can't be lightly possessed or sort of possessed.
If you back up and/or turn with a roller or suction the ball will probably stay in the same position relative to the robot (otherwise what is the point of using the device?) so it would be considered POSSESSED. You could only possess one ball at a time in this manner without receiving a penalty.
