Go to Post I see people show up to a competition with their masterpiece, and proud of it. They are inspired by what they have accomplished. To make it onto the field is a high-it is the culmination of the thousands of hours of dedication compromises and commitment. They feel on top of the world. That's FIRST. - fox46 [more]

Are there any limitations on touching or hitting the rack while hurtling?

Restrictions on contact between the Robot and the Overpass are defined in Rule <G34>.

Restrictions on contact between the Robot and The Rack are much more severe, as they would have to involve reverse time travel.

What does this mean?
You are looking at a reference to the 2007 game's central scoring structure, the Rack (from Rack and Roll). Hence the reverse time travel. The Overpass has been called the rack by mistake.
