Hurdling

I was reading through the rules and i started to speculate the validity of launching a ball as a justifiable method of hurdling. The second specification concerning hurdling says that the robot must be "in POSSESSION of a TRACKBALL" and i don't know if launching is considered possession. any thoughts?

Re: Hurdling

Re: Hurdling

Actually, it has been deemed that launching is valid hurdling. There are a bunch of other threads on hurdling, and at least a few on launching. In summary, launching is legal as long as your robot is moving towards the overpass when it launches.

Here is a thread where this was discussed:
