I don't feel that the definition of hurdling is relevant here.

So it seems to me that a catapult fits the requirement to score since the ball is going over the overpass and will definitely hit the ground/another robot afterwards. In the rulebook, the definition of hurdling only seems to matter for obstruction/defense related rules.
