He might have been talking about the middle platform, but yes, the scoring platforms can be crossed.

In the given context, that wouldn't make sense.

Also note that the middle is called a step, not a platform.

I didn't see it in the manual anywhere that's just the conclusion that our team had come to. (I didn't try to confirm it I just trusted them)

If you have 3 rollers on the carpet and one on the hdpe, does the coefficient of friction come into play? I assume as long as you don't break traction on any of the wheels you can effectively transmit force vectors to the ground?
