We will be asking the GDC this one.

I've also asked the GDC.

I believe in G05, "not used" refers to balls that are unclaimed because the robot is MIA or DOA. I suppose a team could voluntarily not use a ball, but I'm not sure why.

I believe in G01, contain implies the ball is within the frame perimeter. But I think a ball could still be used by placing it on the ground touching the robot.
Presumably you would do so to let your alliance partner pick it up to score. So G01 permits you to preload your two balls, but does not require it.
