My Team and I believe that it is okay to move clockwise as long as you stay in the same quadrant. Were saying it is still illegal to move back over a line marker but that if you need to move clockwise to get a ball, it is alright to do so as long as you stay in the same quadrant.

If I'm wrong please let me know, but that doesn't seem to violate any rules.
What he's talking about is passing the opponent finish line, then using a robot arm to reach and knock off a ball off the overpass, which means the robot arm goes into the opponent home stretch and constitutes moving clockwise, and therefore he will be penalized, possibly twice.
