Yes it is possible to go over the bar. Consider the forces and mechanisims involved before you make that decision.

I am sure there will be some teams that choose over the bar while a few crazy teams will choose the under the bar route. Over the ramp is by far the easiest route. However it will be crowded at times and will need a gate keeper.

As always the drawings are not great. I think this is done on purpose to cause teams to question, communicate and get the details right. The people at FIRST make very few errors, view this as a challenge presented to us, like the real world.
