Bottom line: They will get on the bar very fast, hang, defend, uncap, and cap the respective goals.
5 Arms??? You have them having one arm for their goal, and one arm for their opponents goal....Why not just have one arm and have their gear (or in our case capstone) above the bar so that they arm can go up and over the bar like ours? It works quite well, and it can be controlled and very quick if perfected.
