It was certainly a HURDLE by this definition. Where the robots are is not important.

The robot indeed was not HURDLING according the next definition in section 7.2. However, that doesn't make a HURDLE impossible. It just means the robot is not granted protection from interference by other robots.

I was under the assumption that would not count

That is merely the definition of a robot in the act of completing a hurdle to clarify when impeding is not called and when interference can be called.

Re: Team RUSH 27's amazing hurdle

Very nice. We did that once, although accidentally, over the wrong overpass. Right now though we are struggling to hurdle at all..

Re: Team RUSH 27's amazing hurdle

The only other comparably good endgame move I've seen was this one:

It's much better to be watching things like this from home than from the opposing driver station. Awesome job, 27.
