Every team I have mentioned this to in my area had not fully understood what qualifies as "scaling the tower" so I thought I would share.
Quote:
A ROBOT has SCALED the TOWER if, at the conclusion of the MATCH, the ROBOT:
A. is in contact with a unique RUNG, and
B. has all of its BUMPERS fully above the height of the low GOALS.

This excerpt from the manual does not state anything about the robot being required to be completely above the height of the low goal. The only requirement is that your bumpers rise above the low goal. I hope this helps anyone who was planning on building a mechanism to raise their robot well above where it needed to be.
