Hm what's the problem with that? I understand that the bumper extends down, but what else needs to be on the underside that makes this unbuildable?

I think it's because the bumpers on top (the white things with the blue dot in the middle) need a lot of space underneath and the line runs through the space that they would need.
Hm I understand the bumper part, but what does the line represent? Why does it need to run on the underside?
The line represents a physical tunnel through which the ball can travel.
Oh, there's a hole at the top of the line that leads to an underground lane? That makes sense, I couldn't make that out in the photo, thanks.
If you drain to the far left, and kickback is lit, the ball gets sent along the line and comes out the top (and IIRC, refills your fuel?)
Oh that whole thing is a higher level! I see now, I thought that top section is actually a ground section, thanks.
