Well, I only watched the webcasts, but here's my best shot at this.

Launchers with a "roller gripper" to pick up balls were shining. Teams like 1114 fit into this cataglory.

The 80in rule wasn't called (at all) from what i saw. Even tipped robots didnt get checked/called. Impeding wasn't called either.

High scores were 130+. (I think MWR QFs). Lowest ones were 10ish without penalties


More important than how you hurdle, though, is accuracy. I saw a lot of shooters nail the overpass and fail. I've also seen arms ram the overpass and fall >.>
