I was wondering if any teams measured the bar height at the UTC Scrimmage. I was looking at it before the competition started and it seemed to be a little bit lower than what the specs called for. Also I noticed that RAGE went right into the bar as they were attempting to go under. From the look of it, that robot was designed to go under the bar, and the fact that it didn't makes me question whether or not the bar on that field was 14" ±.5". Considering that this field was provided by FIRST, it may be important to know.
Thank you,

p.s. Congrats to all teams at the Scrimmage, it was alot of fun.

We do go under the bar.. we are slightly over a foot tall at our highest point. The only time we didn't make it under the bar was during the morning practice, and that was because we got the grippers, that are attached to our wrist, stuck under our arm, preventing it from going down all the way. The height of the bar was correct. We ventured under the bar multiple times in the quals and elims, you didn't see that? BTW, were you the "commentator" at the scrimmage?
