Our bottom bar is fixed and it works like a dream. I can officially say that when I have the ball, I can drive it like I stole it. Heck, we can even play defense with a ball in our rollers.

Our front wheels were off-set from the front of the chassis by roughly 2" before we put on the roller system. We toyed around with the idea of having the bottom bar articulate, but in the end, we had to move our entire drive train up 2" to keep the bottom bar between the front two wheels.
