The robot looks great! Very creative design. Except one thing that keep bugging me.
I believe the rules states that robots are not allow to interact with the barrier... Just like at 2001 when robots aren't supposed to use the limbo bar to climb over, or at 2000 when robots aren't suppose to touch the goals to score balls.
So, when an opponent robot push against your fork, and the ended up pushing against the barrier, wouldn't that be illegal when you are using the barrier to help block enemy robot?
I suppose a different angle to look at this is if a robot is in front of the barrier, and an opponent robot push against the first robot, and can't go under the bar because the first robot won't fit under... than that would be ok because the robot isn't intentionally using the barrier to block the opponent robot...
I don't mean to be disrespectful... I am just wondering if you thought about this when you design the robot?
