Re: Ball possession

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.

i would say that intentionally having a 2nd ball within 3inches of your frame perimeter would be considered possession. like if u have 2, kick the first one then kick the second... u controlled the position of the 2nd one while in possesion of the 1st... incedental contact inside of the frame perimeter should be allowed however. like ur holding one and another rolls into ur frame perimeter... but just like bounces off or moves away when u turn or back up then ur fine.
