HURDLE: When a TRACKBALL CROSSES a FINISH LINE while passing above the OVERPASS and then contacts either the floor or another ROBOT before re-contacting the originating ROBOT.
As long as you can hit the ball before it crosses the plane of the line, you are ok. Otherwise, it still counts as a hurdle if it touches your robot.
