Possession of trackball
 
I know this might be a dumb question, but i am unsure of it.

Can we drive under the overpass, with the trackball in possession?

Not if you want to score trackball points.

You will still get the robot points, but why settle for two points when you can have four?

Wait I don't understand, how can you get 4 points?

The robot crossing the finish line counts for 2 points, while the trackball crossing the finish line counts for two points separately. If you can do both -- driving the robot to the line, releasing the trackball across the line, and then driving the robot across the line, you'll score 4 points.

2 for the robot and 2 for the ball. Possessing the ball takes away 2 unless you are hurdling. See Section 7.3.3 for scoring details.
