The omni bar is for lowering the cheval de frise and raising the portcullis. The arm it's attached to is also meant to open the sally port and get the drawbridge down to the floor after we get it most of the way down with another as yet unfinished mechanism.

We designed to be a ferry bot / low goal scorer. It is intended to cross the category A and C defenses in addition to the low bar. It has the potential to cross some of the others if the omni bar is used, but that is not something we specifically designed for. It should be able to score into the low goal on its own or deliver boulders to a high goal shooter if the strategy necessitates that.
