That rule doesn't seem to fit. The ball still passes over (although at some point it is standing still relative to the Earth), and will not touch the originating robot before touching the ground (assuming that the "originating robot" is the one that put it up there in the first place).

I would agree with the above posters saying that while it seems reasonable that it would count for a hurdle, it's probably best to wait for a ruling on it.
