As Raul said, and as seen at kick off, there are only clearance of about 12" under the bar. Now, it's not only 12" clearance, we are talking about a 4X6 under it that the robot have to cross. Now you will want some kind of wheel setup and/or something that can help you through. With all these, you will have to fit the electronics and the BATTERY in that robot. This is going to be so hard to build, and I am not even sure it's worth the time and design, as well as sacrificing a of what your robot can do. Maybe you can have a 5' X 1' X 3' robot standing up and flip down after you start, but not sure how well that robot can do unless it can fold up and do something.
