Another team, 190, hung from the bar in autonomous and deployed flaps that covered the top of the bar so teams could not get their hooks on them unless they lifted their flap up for you.
Check out some videos from 2004 if you can, it was a really exciting year.
I'd estimate the bar to be about 8-10 feet long, can anyone else second this?
