2. Class C defenses are a time suck. In eliminations top alliances are still skipping them, making low bar a faster option if capable.

One of the two non-low-bar captains made a pretty decent living doing a Class C in AUTO(and in teleop). And showed Class A ability in elims, too.

1197 designed to be capable of handling anything that isn't low bar. Part of that was figuring out that with everybody else going low, we didn't need to!

Team 4564 Orange Chaos was the first seed alliance captain at the WPI NE District Qualifier, and they were low bar-capable sure enough.

359 was low-bar capable at Tech Valley, although they didn't really use it so much. Incidentally, so were, I believe, all of the top 8 seeded machines.

973 was #2 seed at Ventura, and is a tall robot. They were only 5 autonomous points from being #1 seed. #1 seed was low bar.
