BTW - can someone put this question up on the FIRST board? I can't get into it since I don't have the password for our team. Thanks
although the bot in the animation did in fact hang from the bar directly from the floor, you will also notice that it rebelled a lot against the laws of physics. In reality, in order to do it you would need a longer arm that was capable of attaching itself to the bar at different angles (as you would never be directly in line).
