I think Karthik is terrified of teams that made sacrifices to attempt the low bar realizing--at their events--that they can't clear the low bar. At that point, it is very difficult if not flat impossible to recoup the capabilities you sacrificed to attempt the low bar. Just as teams that slapped on passive hook hangers in 2013 realized weight distribution was critical, or tall robots in 2012 realized they couldn't use a dingus to help balancing, the low bar is a serious set of limitations that should be regarded accordingly.
Alternate take: Karthik is terrified of having to emcee this year because even his formidable ups may not be enough for a Portcullis/Drawbridge combo, and ramparts and rough terrains may have a
Libby Kamen-esque effect on Jordans.
