Honestly, good idea, but you really should think things through before posting about them.
FIRST did not make the ability to raise or lower the bar part of the competition. Just like the screws that's used to fasten the rest of the field together. Just because it is there does not mean you should use it to give yourself advantages. Watch the kickoff video carefully. They specifically said the raising and lowering is not part of the game. Look at the blue print. The 10' bar is what you are supposed to build and test your robot on, nothing more.


Consider this issue concluded. No more need to be said about this topic. Thanks.
