Re: Help on a iudgement call
If I understand you correctly, you are asking:

Once the robot has let go of the trackball, is it no longer considered to be hurdling?

Per the definitions in section 7.2, the answer is yes. Once you let go, you are no longer hurdling. Now that this basic question has been answered, I can only assume that the implications correspond to <G42>, protection while hurdling.

Given these rules and definitions, that means as soon as you let go of the trackball, you are no subject to regular defense.

However, you should not expect to be protected by these rules. Defense happens - Penalties are a judgment call, not a guarantee.
