HURDLE: When a TRACKBALL CROSSES a FINISH LINE while passing above the OVERPASS and then contacts either the floor or another ROBOT before re-contacting the originating ROBOT.
The definition of "hurdle" is "passing over the overpass" (no pun intended)
.
So the opposition would have no chance of knocking over the ball because it must completely go over the overpass, not rest on it.
You might be thinking of the ending, when Alliances receive 12 points per ball resting on the overpass at the end of the match. In this case, they can knock it down, thus preventing you from scoring, but not receiving any points themselves.
