Going over the bar probably the best strategy this year, mostly because:

a)It leaves room for building upward, unlike going under the bar where you are cramped for space.

b) In the long run it saves the time for reseting the bridge for another robot to go over.

c)having the abiliy to be taller and not use the bridge makes it easier to balance the bridge. You have more control of the bridge with a taller & wider robot drawing the goals further in to the center of the bridge, and bringing the center of gravity down.

With all of that I predit that the final alliance will have 2 robots that go over the bar (one that can balance & one that can place a big ball) and two that need the bridge to cross and pick up little balls.
