Fortunately, the GDC has made it so we don't have to fathom the intent... they put it right in the manual. This is the third sentence in Section 7 of the manual:
Quote:
The object of the game is to attain a higher score than your opponent by making counter-clockwise laps with your robot around the TRACK while moving large TRACKBALLS over and/or under the OVERPASS that bisects the TRACK.
Arguing about the letter of the rules is one thing, but the word "while" in that sentence makes the intent very clear.
