From all that, I get the impression that you can drive into the bar and activate something, but the bar itself cannot be the object which provides the force to do something.

Like, you CANNOT have the light spring loaded, and as you go under the bar, the bar itself pushes the light (or whatever device) down. Read: The bar cannot provide the force.

But, you CAN bump into the bar, and have that cause a motor to activate, and then have the motor move the light.

Quote:
A trip device to lower or displace the rotating beacon is allowed as long as the lower bar itself is not used to force the light down to get under the bar.
(ie once the light gets bumped by the bar, a motor moves it down)

Does that help at all???

[Edit] I keep saying "light". But, I assume that the rule would hold true for other objects as well. [/Edit]
