I don't think the robot can be in contact with the trackball when it crosses the finish line, even if you hurdle it. In <G11> scoring for a hurdled trackball is 2pts. for crossing the finish line and 6 pts. for hurdling. And in <G10>, each trackball not in contact with a robot of the same alliance will earn 2 pts.
I don't know, that is just the way I interpretted the rules.

If so, the animation has another illegal operation.

HURDLING: The act of completing a HURDLE. To be considered in the process of HURDLING, the ROBOT must:
• be in its own HOME STRETCH, and
• be in POSSESSION of a TRACKBALL, and
• be moving toward the OVERPASS and/or elevating the TRACKBALL so that the top of the TRACKBALL is higher than the LANE DIVIDER.

The ball has to leave your possession and cross the opponents finish line before it can score for you again.

What if you have an arm that reaches up, passes the trackball over your finish line, pulled it back, then you drop the ball so that you are no longer in contact with it behind you and regain possession, Drive around and over the opposing alliances finish line and then repeat?
