Re: Make the bar lower to get on?
There are no bad ideas.
I would love to see a robot that could do this. It would not be hard to do at all. They did say that the bar would be lowered at the end of the match to assist in removing robots...but I don't recall them saying it couldn't be lowered during the match (my memory is very faulty though - I was excited to see the bar back!). I'd say its a valid strategy until it is deemed illegal, but it will most likely be addressed in an update.
On a side note, just think of the dynamics of the game if the bar started at 10' and lowered to 6' or the other way around - if it started high, you'd have to accomodate for less space in which to hang...and if it rose, you'd have to get there before its out of your reach. You could even bring back the time points from 2001 because it would move at a set rate, thus you'd know the height at 30 seconds, 1 minute, etc. and be able to give more points depending on when a team hung.
