Possessing is defined as follows in the manual:
Possessing – A Robot is considered to be Possessing a Cone if it is carrying, holding, or controlling
the movement of a Cone in the Robot. Pushing/plowing Cones is not considered Possession,
however using concave portions of your Robot to control the movement of Cones is considered
Possession.

Here’s my question: what is the definition of “In the robot?” The rules suggest it as being within a concave portion of the bot, but is that the real definition.

in the robot simply means being affected by the robot, and while you may have found slight technicality I’m not sure how it would be of any use, as you would have to build something convex to have that apply. However “in the robot” in this context just means being affected by the robot.
