I too know of many teams that are designing their
robots to go under the bar.

But...

Car Nack did not speak of how many were going to be
DESIGNED TO go under the bar but how many WILL BE ABLE
to go under the bar.

While I think that the skill may be less rare than Car
Nack seems to think, I believe he may be right if you
add the words "and do anything but tug a goal or two
around." Even without the modification, I think it may
be closer to Car Nack's 1% than to the 10% nobody seems
to have a problem with for teams going over the bar.

Time will tell... ...it aways does.
