Re: reverse hurdle.

No, if you knock the ball off backwards they will not get any points as the ball has not crossed any line. CROSSING is defined as moving in a counterclockwise direction, and an object has crossed once all parts of the object have moved across the plane, so is the ball goes over clockwise it has passed through the line, however it has not crossed it. It also depends on what the scenario is. If you are in teleop and your opponent didnt knock their ball off, you can knock the ball off however you want to because in order for a ball to score the first time it must cross a lane marker or opponents finish line first. If it is at the end of the match and your opponent has previously taken their ball down, then put it back up to try and get the 12 points, if you knock it off in a clockwise direction, then yes they do get the points for the hurdle. If you knock it off backwards (ball moving counterclockwise) then they do not get points because the ball hasnt CROSSED the line. If you dont trust the rules I say because I didnt quote the manual, feel free to look them up they are in there. I just didnt feel like going to the manual to quote them. Hope I helped.
