That is correct.
As a general rule of thumb, though, if you're damaging Litter (to the point of being removed from play) just by driving over it, you might have a problem with the whole "repeated" part. At the very least, consider a minor redesign.
One team at the scrimmage I was at actually removed their Litter guards after "ingesting" a noodle. Suddenly they didn't damage any Litter when driving over it... Another one apparently made a store run and came back with an actual broom.
