Re: Low Bar

[quote=Abrakadabra;1532940]Not sure how this thread about the Low Bar got sidetracked into a discussion about 2-ball auton, but here is my question:

How many teams have actually practiced going under the Low Bar WITH the cloth barrier in place? If you have, how would you say that it affects your ability to successfully cross the defense?

We have tried it. You need to make sure you don't have anything on the top of your robot for it to get caught on. It's very easy to get snagged. And you should have some time of roll bars or something else that accomplishes protecting the top of your robot. The bar/fabric will catch on the inside of your robot easily.
