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.
I agree. HURDLING is a definition meant to protect a robot while it is scoring from aggressive play that is otherwise legal; a HURDLE is what happens when the trackball passes over the overpass and touches the ground or a non-originating robot. At least that's how I read it.
