Does it meet the criteria

One can also look at the definition of Bulldozing in G12, which is defined as "inadvertently coming in contact with balls". That is basically saying that unintentional herding is not possession.

Intentions can also be inferred as a requirement since unintentional lodging in a robot is specifically defined as a possession. However, intention does leave the question of unintentional trapping. I would say that it is unintentional if it is momentary (which is not called as adverse possession, but could be called for assist possession), and becomes intentional if the situation persists.
