I suggest all teams put in their robot in a sketch and run it through like it was actually driving through the low bar. The height of that bar isn't as low as people are making it out to be if your drive is designed correctly.
This depends somewhat on your CoM. If you have a CoM near the back, you might not fall down horizontal until you're well into the low bar. At which point you'd start pushing against the low bar. Just CAD isn't going to give you those details.
