Contact with scoring robot after hurdling
In multiple answers on this forum it has been stated that the ball can be in contact with the robot still in its home zone while the ball crosses the finish line during hurdling. One example used was a robot holding the ball while reaching over the overpass completely past the finish line before dropping the ball to the floor. The answer from the GDC stated that it was OK to do this and the hurdle would count once it hits the floor or another robot. Does this imply that the ball can be in contact with the scoring robot only above the overpass but may not contact parts of the robot under the overpass past the finish line? In other words, does it imply that the hurdle would not count if the robot holding the ball past the line drops it and it contacts this same robot again under the overpass before it hits the ground?
