This is why we went with going for the low bar. We plan to have a barrel that can be lower than the horizontal side of our robot to more easily fit through the bar. My only concern is Madisons post on what size you actually need to be to fit through the low bar, and if we can do it with the Rhino Treads. and the shooter mechanism.
