Hurdle like Mad

So, I presented this idea to my team, and we're all pretty skeptical of it's legality. Can anyone tell me if the following strategy is legal/possible.

Park in the inside corner of your home stretch and pick up a ball with an arm. Then raise the ball 8 feet in the air, then rotate it completely through both finish lines. This would get you a hurdle <G11>, and clear the opponents finish line, allowing you to score again <G13>.

If this is a legitimate strategy, would you have to release the ball after that, or could you keep going? It says it has to touch the ground before you "re-contact" the ball, but if you never let go, you never re-contact.

and then contacts either the floor or another ROBOT before re-contacting the originating ROBOT.
