I was thinking that if the ball crosses the plane of the line, then it would count as a hurdle. So if one can hit the ball away before it crosses the line, it would prevent the hurdle.

But if they hit it after the ball crossed, it counts as a hurdle per the definition of hurdle:

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.
Emphasis added.
