I agree completely with what you are saying!! I know my other team 857 has the ability to do just that. Now we could lower it and be allowed to be pushed throw, however our arm any allows it to go one way. Being pushed in the other direction would do no good and break our robot.
All this talk about robots trying to prevent themselves from being pushed under the bar makes me think that there is some great advantage that I haven't thought about... Any help here? All you would be doing is stopping other limbo bots, however why do you ever need to stop robots? I thought the game was about bins? Maybe I misread the rules about the purpose of the game; again!! according to some...
