Not exactly geometrically impossible. You have 120" of perimeter to work with, +15" of extension on all sides, so if you made your robot like 58" long by like 2" wide you could probably ramp up to the bar or grab it with extensions. Unclear on whether you could maneuver this monstrosity around the field, but I've seen some pretty crazy driving feats before.
