The way we see it, most robots on the field will be low-bar capable, so why would we add to that? It only takes 1 robot to damage the low bar defense, so why (apart from easy traversal), would 3 robots need to center their entire design around going under 1 defense. To me, it seems like a similar situation to the feeder stations last year.

Being tall has some advantages. Want to play defense? Just sit in front of the other robots. Want to play offense? Congrats, you can shoot over most of the other robots on the field. Sure, you could get pushed around if you're playing offense, but there's only one defensive bot on each alliance in any match, so I guess you can just act as a diversion while another robot scores.

Being tall is two sides of the same coin, but tall robots can have a huge advantage. Yes, the low bar is the most 'reliable' of the defenses, but if the other 2 robots on your alliance both have the low bar, it doesn't seem like a big deal to be honest.
