Your limbo bar setup is illegal.

Q. To what extent can parts of the robot contact the midfield barrier?
Jan 23rd
A. GM 28 prohibits "attachment". GM31 allows incidental contact. 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. Any intentional hard contact with the midfield barrier is prohibited. The midfield bar was not intended to support or furnish a reaction surface for the robots. It is intended to demarcate the midfield and prevent containers from being slid from one side of the field to the other.
Jan 20 (diff, but similar question)
A. See Rule GM31. You can touch the midfield barrrier but you cannot react off of it. You can step over it. you can go under it. If, in wrapping around the pipe barrier you rely on it for support, you will be penalized.

You may contact the barrier. You may use the barrier to detect it or locate it. You may not jamb containers or robots under it. You may not react off the bar. This means that you may not purposely push off it to gain an advantage.
You may not use the bar to force your robot to decrease in height ( i. e. compress springs to make the robot low enough to go under the bar)

By this rule, you are reacting with the barrier. Your limbo mechanism is purposely pushing off the barrier to gain advantage when a robot runs into it. Incidental contact is okay, but reacting on it as you are is illegal.
