That is true. However, the situation we discussed with the refs and clarified, was as follows: red ball starts on the red side over pass. It is knocked down, and is carried across the blue finish line. It is then shot from the red home stretch onto the overpass, where it stays until a blue robot knocks it in the counter-clockwise direction.

That was initially not scored as a hurdle, and after clarification, was called a hurdle.
