I might amend my original statement though- if you can't solo breach when the Sallyport is on the field, you probably failed your strategic design from day 1. Not doing the low bar can make sense if you can do the bumpy stuff, the CDF/Portcullis, and do the sallyport backwards.
I can agree with that. With every robot being able to do the Sally Port with intelligent drivers, it basically allows you to choose a defense you don't want to do (assuming you're low bar capable).
