I've already debated this with some members of my team. Its a gray area, but I would count it. <G14> only covers the end of the MATCH, not Hybrid so it does not apply. It also says nothing about robots, only the location of the trackball. Basically, I would interpret the whole pause between hybrid and tele as the end of hybrid period (a long end, but you have to consider it something). As long as a ball is off the overpass during this end of hybrid period (no matter how it got there) I would count it as 8 points. Otherwise you need to add some rule to clarify this and possibly put the trackball back.
