Hurdling using the overpass

[robogeek753]

I realize that this question has been asked (sort of) on other threads and answered (again, sort of). However, given our specific strategy, I am curious as to if this technique would count.

So, our theory is that we get the ball to around 6 feet, the push it from below such that the TRACKBALL rolls up onto the OVERPASS. (we've tested it and it works). Now, if the ball rolls all the way across and falls off then we just let it bounce and continue on. However, if it settles into one of the depressions (far more likely) we just push it out (with the same device that pushed it on) and onto the next quad (completing the CROSSING) and then proceed to let it bounce and then we gain control again and so forth.

If either scenario (especially the second) happens, is it a hurdle? I would say yes, simply because it crosses the finsih line while being above the overpass (remember, crossing isn't complete until the whole thing goes over the line). What do you think?
