if you went to descore a ball and you have 3 of your opponent’s balls would you have to drop one before you descore it? ( assuming you have to pick it up to descore with a claw or intake)

but if the opponent’s ball is on the bottom and you pick them up to descore would that count as a possession? the manual states that possession – A Robot is considered to be Possession a Ball if a Ball is in an unscored position and
either of the following criteria is met:
• The Robot is carrying, holding, or controlling the movement of a Ball such that if the Robot changes
direction, the Ball will move with the Robot. Pushing/plowing Balls is not considered Possession,
however, using concave portions of your Robot to control the movement of Balls is considered
Possession.
• The Robot is blocking the opposing Robot’s access to Balls that are located between Goals along
the field perimeter. Blocking access to Balls is considered Possessing those Balls only if the
opposing Robot is attempting to make contact with those Balls from close range and those Balls
are at least partially within the width of the Goals between the Goals. Robots on the same Alliance
working in tandem to block access to Balls would share the Possession of the Balls. See for
Possession limits.
Yes that would because you are actively moving it.
