Is anybody talking about the low bar?
We've been curious as to what some other teams are considering going for the low bar. We've talked about some of the design constraints and decided that it is super dependent on other robots. So what are you guys thinking? Is it worth it to go for the low bar if no one else is?

If you actually looked at Chief Delphi before posting you would know there already has been countless posts about this in the last 2 days.
Sorry for the saltiness but it really annoys me as it disrupts discussion. |

Our team is thinking of just not doing the low bar because of the restraints involved with having a robot that could fit under the low bar.

Re: Is anybody talking about the low bar?
Our team has personally made the decision to go for the low bar, as it provides an easy way of scoring during autonomous and is a simple defense to overcome (as long as you meet the height limit). There will likely be many teams that are going for the low goal, though, and I can see why you would be debating the pros and cons.
At the end of the day, this decision is up to you and your team. You could easily find a way to score points either way. |

One potential option to consider is using a detachable mechanism. Low bar capable when the alliance strategy determines it.

Dynamic robots by match would be interesting this year. Not necessarily for changing based on the selected defenses (however you should know which defense was selected by the audience before queuing for a match) but maybe based on what your alliance can do. |

Hey SOTA,
We skipped it, there is a whole thread on the idea, (as you have seen) which was a surprise to me at first. Identify what you wish to do strategy-wise, then make a way to pass under the bar. FRC 4579 RoboEagles |

If you don't like the thread, either ignore the thread or graciously send a PM explaining why it is important to do a search and also why it is important to read the sticky threads about basic posting etiquette. If you're gonna respond to a redundant thread, answer the question or direct the OP to the thread where they can find the answers. If you really gotta tell them what they're doing wrong, leave that as a private message so you're not calling them out publically. It's this kind of tactless impatience with new members that can drive people away from this forum. |

Our answer was YES, we need to be able to cross under the low bar. It's there every match, in the same location. It's ESSENTIAL for teams going after lots of boulder points (which is the only "unlimited" source of points), and still pretty important for teams playing for a sapper (focused on breaching defenses) function. I think most top 8 and first-pick alliances will fall into one or both of these two categories.
I would not be surprised if our initial configuration is more than 14-16" tall, but I absolutely expect us to have a configuration that will fit below the low bar while carrying a boulder. |
