I think it would be virtually impossible to design something that would allow the ball to fully cross the opponent's finish line (thus making it eligible to be hurdled again) and then reclaim the ball without having any part of the robot enter Q4... unless you flung it from Q3 to Q4, and put a wicked amount of backspin on it so it could roll back into Q3.

Intentionally committing penalties may cause you to receive a yellow card.
