What do you think?

Yes, Section 7.2 Definitions:
CROSSING: The act of a TRCKBALL or ROBOT passing through the plane defined by a line (i.e. LANE MARKER or FINISH LINE) when it is projected vertically upwards. A TRACKBALL or ROBOT shall have CROSSED a line when all parts of the object, while traveling in a counterclockwise
direction, have completely passed through the plane.
I was directed to this def. earlier when I asked whether or not the trackball must also move in a counter-clockwise direction, otherwise, I missed it.
