I dont think that launching the ball is considered hurdling because the definition says that
a. Hurdling is the "The act of completing a HURDLE."
in order to complete a hurdle, a robot has to
"be in POSSESSION of a TRACKBALL"
Possession is - "Controlling the position and movement of a TRACKBALL while the TRACKBALL is supported or captured"
we obviously know that ball isnt "captured" when its in mid air

but is it supported?
no I dont think it is

"A TRACKBALL shall be considered “supported” by a ROBOT if in the estimation of a reasonably
astute observer the majority of the weight of the TRACKBALL is being borne by the ROBOT."

I dont think that the weight of the trackball is supported by a robot if its traveling through the air

I might be wrong though, Id appreciate it you informed me of any flaws in my logic
