Make the bar lower to get on?

Did anyone else take notice to the fact that the bar can be lowered. Woody used a simple drill to turn something to raise the bar. There is no rule stating that the bar cannot be lowered. But it does state that it is 10 feet tall from the carpet. Does that only apply at the beginning of a match? Does it apply at the end of a match? Can you lower the bar and make robots that get to it not get the 50 points? Can you lower it, get on it, then raise it using a tethered part that you could retract once you have returned the height of the bar? Can you lower it and just get on it and get the points? Is it even possible to lower the bar easily with the robot? Would you get disqualified for lowering the bar? It is not destruction of the field is it? Is that why "Raising the bar" is in the title?

I know this will probably not be allowed, but I am suprised that no one else noticed it. Or is there a rule that I missed that prohibits the lowering of the bar during the match?
