And I agree that the best way to do this is to have the inspectors notify the referees of the possibility of the ball rolling 3" or more under your robot.

My interpretation matches yours. This is not an inspection issue, it is a referee "real time" issue similar to extending outside the max extension in 2008.
I think 148 is going to make a point of demonstrating to head-refs that balls cannot enter our robot more than 3". Education may be the key to avoiding penalties from over-eager flag throwers.
I can only imagine the reaction from our new coach if we get such a penalty...
