The problem might be in the second point of the definition of HURDLING. While the ball is sitting on the overpass, the team has given up POSSESSION.
Variations on this scenario (all assume counterclockwise direction):
- Redabot 1 puts the ball on the overpass, and then immediately knocks it off.
- Redabot 1 puts the ball on the overpass, and then Redabot 2 knocks it off.
- Redabot 1 puts the ball on the overpass, circles the track, and then knocks it off the next lap
- Redabot puts the ball on the overpass, and then Blueabot knocks it off.
Which of these counts as a hurdle?
