If mechanical designs permit going underneath the low bar, that's a pretty similar challenge to spy bots scoring a second boulder in autonomous.
This comparison isn't particularly valid. retrieving balls from the bridges requires only that you be able to reach the bridge and push it down. Depending on your mechanism your margin of error could be as great as three feet.

Maybe youre missing the fact that crossing the midline is a FOUL, and the ball is exactly on the midline. You see the issue? Your margin of error is now literally the radius of the ball.
