oh haha yea i see where you could ofmisinterpreted that.... nope i had no intention to do any *working out* on the bar. You see, the felxing of muscles in our robot isn;t in the arm, but in the insanly robust and powerful drivetrain we have. True, we aren't the scorers, but the design's intent was more defense oriented (preventing others from hanging on the bar is just as vital as hanging oneself). the designed low CG also would make it hard to tilt the base off the floor without a weighty motor and gear reduction.
