So is having multiple free spinning balls in front of your robot with general control of position illegal or would it be considered possession of multiple balls? Or are you not even allowed to intentionally go after multiple balls?

If the balls are free spinning and not controlled by any mechanism on your robot they will not stay in the same position relative to the robot if you back up or turn your robot. When backing up the balls will stay in their same absolute position as your robot moves away, and when turning they will at there will be a relative movement across your robot sideways.

Based on this it would be legal to have multiple balls being pushed by your robot.
