I don't think a G11 call would be too out there, although I don't think that they were actually attempting to score the red ball. But I don't think you can justify G12 at all. Herding specifically refers to contacting the ball multiple times, which did not happen, and trapping is defined as pressing the ball against the field or another robot, which clearly was not done.

I've been seeing a lot of misconceptions about possession lately, that's the main reason I'm posting really...
