Re: Is this considered a hurdle?

For anyone reading this here is what the question is referring to

Section 7.2 says:

HURDLING: The act of completing a HURDLE. To be considered in the process of HURDLING,
the ROBOT must:
• be in its own HOME STRETCH, and
• be in POSSESSION of a TRACKBALL, and
• be moving toward the OVERPASS and/or elevating the TRACKBALL so that the top of the TRACKBALL is higher than the LANE DIVIDER.

What that last section means however is unclear and I would think that you can not be in possession of the ball if you have catapulted it, however in the demonstration the "robots" (humans) were just throwing them over without extending the balls necessarily over the 6 1/2 ' barrier of the top of the divider

Anyone else got input?
