Re: Make the bar lower to get on?

I would not expect FIRST to allow it.

And it will be especially hard to program/build it to be able to use a screwdriver anyways if they don’t release the specs of position/size of the bar raising mechanism.

Has anyone actually asked FIRST about this?
It would be nice to have things like this clarified before we start building.
Particularly whether or not a bar attaching mechanism can assume the bar height to remain constant. I would hate to have a key function of our bot rendered useless durring competition because it was built under a false assumption.
