You get 8 points per trackball OF YOUR COLOR that is knocked off in Hyrbrid mode.

I might just be losing it today, but I don't like the phrase "scored trackball". Does the process of taking a trackball off of the overpass consider the trackball "scored"? Are the points being awarded because a trackball was taken off, or because your trackball was taken off? If the latter, I don't know how a team is going to make it around the corner of the wall, knock over the other ball without breaking the 6 foot height limit, and do it deterministically so they don't knock over the wrong ball on accident and give the other team 8 points. Seems incredibly hard to do, especially with other robots more than plausibly in the way.
