Karthik is afraid...

Because if what might be considered the top half of FRC teams (those who interact with other teams via CD, share information, etc), are 90% going under the low bar...

You can bet that the "bottom half" isn't going to be far behind. BUT, they don't necessarily know about the fact that being 16" tall is going to hurt you, and so there will be about 75% of the field jammed in the Neutral Zone/Secret Passages unable to move farther due to lousy planning on drivetrains, making it hard for teams who DID account for those little nuisances to get through.

That's what Karthik is afraid of: Severe congestion in the Neutral Zone, slowing down the whole game.



BTW, as I recall, I can think of one team that most definitely isn't planning to go under the low bar.
