I'm thinking it will be the rough terrain or the moat... Folks will realize they can't open doors or duck a low bar, but will mistakenly believe that their four 6" traction times will be able to handle the "simple-looking" obstacles...

The rock wall looks the toughest, but after a lot of simulation, I've learned that it's very easy to jam a robot in the moat.

Can a robot pass partially over the low bar and not be violation of rule G25?

The rule is G45, which states

A ROBOT may not pass completely over the LOW BAR.

In your case, since the robot is only partially passing over the LOW BAR, I assume it is be legal.

I voted portcullis... I could see the door slamming down and getting hung on something. Unlike the others that's one that wouldn't be one that a partner could just shove you out of.
