The other thing is, the "bump to pass" you describe is not a "bump to pass", it is a PENALTY on the other team. The ONLY time you can contact a robot in the process of hurdling is if there is more than one at a time, in which case you GENTLY bump them and they have six seconds to move. (<G40>, < G42>, and <G43>) So the hurdling team effectively hurdled anyway (point difference).
Oh yeah, and <G38> says you can only signal to pass an impeding robot, and hurdling robots are explicitly not impeding.
As a warning to any team at the SCRRF scrimmage, especially whoever was knocking 399 over the line while they were hurdling (if they satisfied the definition, which they do--blatantly), you can expect to lose a LOT of points if you play the way you were yesterday!

Okay, thanks Eric, that clears up a lot of questions we had. Los Angeles should be fun, see you there ;P
