We did a simulated kickoff this year of FIRST Overdrive with our team and a couple of rookie teams (who will be joining us for the real 2016 kickoff), and this was pretty much our understanding. The precision required was rather high, the number of points was not particularly high, and there were no rules preventing the opposing alliance from easily de-seating your replaced ball even if you did put it back on the overpass. Two of our three groups explicitly downplayed/rejected this as a valid scoring method, and the third did not even consider it in their outbrief.
