Re: Low bar or not

It depends entirely on your game strategy. If it involves being able to breach the defenses solo or essentially so, yes. If it involves a rapid cycle time of getting boulders from your own secret passage to the courtyard for scoring, yes. Those two items are where most of the points are.

The only game goals which requires that you be tall are scaling the tower and defending/evading defense of boulder launches at the high goal. When you remember that you do not have to have all of your manipulators inside the frame perimeter when you go under the low bar, (only when scaling, launching, or defending), even these conflicts can be easily resolved.
