I wasn't suggesting driving back over the line, but after the finish line, looking back and trying to knock the ball down without breaking the line plane. Could be called obstruction of traffic, anyhow. Still, I highly doubt that's what FIRST intended. I'm really surprised by this rule... can't figure out the reasoning behind it. Would like the Q&A to go up so we can get some resolution.

Actually, it's the quarter right before you hit the line. The color of the finish line determines the color of the homestretch.

A mathmatician, a physicist, and an engineer were all given a red rubber ball and told to find the volume.
The mathmatician carefully measured the diameter and evaluated a triple integral.
The physicist filled a beaker with water, put the ball in the water, and measured the total displacement.
The engineer looked up the model and serial numbers in his red-rubber-ball table.
