Hurdling Question

[whytheheckme]

I searched, but I can't believe there isn't a thread on this. Maybe someone could point me in the right direction.

In section 7.2, it states that

HURDLE: When a TRACKBALL CROSSES a FINISH LINE while passing above the OVERPASS
and then contacts either the floor or another ROBOT before re-contacting the originating ROBOT.

<G10> states that

<G10>Each TRACKBALL that has CROSSED its own FINISH LINE while not in contact with a
ROBOT of the same ALLIANCE will earn 2 points. A TRACKBALL that has CROSSED its
own FINISH LINE which contacts ROBOTS of both ALLIANCES while CROSSING will earn
2 points.

and <G11> states that

<G11>Each TRACKBALL that HURDLES its own FINISH LINE will earn 8 points (2 points for
CROSSING the FINISH LINE and a 6 point bonus, yielding 8 points total).

I'm confused as to weather or not your bot can be in contact with the ball while hurdling... And if not, at what point it has to let go (i.e. the bot has to let go of the ball as it breaches the vertical plane of the colored bar.)

Essentially, my question is weather the vertical lifting bot with the side-grabbers in the game video is legal. It simply lifts the ball up, moves it over the bar, and lets go.

Thanks,
