Today team paragon tried a mock game with students and a ball. We tried to toss the ball over the overpass but it didn't work out to good we only got it once. Also when we threw it over after the field was built someone got knock down on to the floor.

No you cant throw the ball over backwards, look at the definition of crossing

Quote:

CROSSING: The act of a TRCKBALL or ROBOT passing through the plane defined by a line (i.e.
LANE MARKER or FINISH LINE) when it is projected vertically upwards. A TRACKBALL or
ROBOT shall have CROSSED a line when all parts of the object, while traveling in a counterclockwise
direction, have completely passed through the plane.

Quote:

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.

You can throw the ball backwards over the overpass, but you wont get any points for it.
