Re: Was the Low Bar worth it?

I think it was worth it. It made many of our cycles quick and our drivers were the most comfortable doing low bar high goal cycles in teleop I'd say. Also, our low bar high goal auto mode is our most consistent auto mode.. Being able to go under the low bar and over Cat A, B, and D defenses was nice which meant we could essentially breach on our own which was important to us at regional's where our bot was the one relied to get at least 3 RP's per match.

It did affect what type of shooter we wanted to pick this year (either a flywheel or a catapult) since we weren't a fan of implementing a flywheel shooter and putting that on the robot with constraints. (we ended up going with a pneumatic catapult because it was easier to program, but it was also easier to fit on the robot if we wanted to go under the low bar) It was definitely worth it IMO.
