Unclear on whether you could maneuver this monstrosity around the field, but I've seen some pretty crazy driving feats before.
I think bumper rules prevented you from building a bot with a single side of length less than 8". Still allows you to build a 52" bot plus the 15" extension. Perhaps you could have another 15" extension pushing you off of the ground from the other side. Would definitely put you at the right height for the climbing bar.
