Re: Rules for hanging, using a loop over the end of the bar

Just want to throw my 2 cents in here. Our bot (126) also hangs from the floor over the end caps of the bar. The difference is that we designed a lexan cross piece to use in the actual pull up (not a wire loop). So our pull is directly down, not down and out; ie. no sliding across the bar. If you were to remove the end bar, our bot would swing under the pull up bar and continue to hang in almost every case. Luckily we never had any troubles with the refs on this and were awarded points every time we remained above the platform.
