The ball can only penetrate the vertical plane of the frame perimeter by 3 inches (Rule G46), and no part of the robot may extend beyond the frame perimeter for more than 2 seconds (Rule G30). It's hard to visualize a "claw" that could grasp the 3 inches of the ball that is inside the frame perimeter... unless the "claw" has powered rollers or a vacuum or some adhesive.
