Are you an inch under 16, or an inch under 14? The low bar is located at the neutral zone end of the defense, which means that you will need to be significantly shorter than 16 inches on your leading edge as you pass under hte low bar.
(I use the term leading because we have tried to eschew use of front and back for our robot. It will cross different defenses in different directions. We have a boulder launch that projects the boulder at the high goal from the opposite end of the pickup. Our robot ends are "pickup" and "launch" rather than "front" and "back".
