An Easy Modification

Just a suggestion, but how about bending the pipes that fit over the midfield barrier at a 45 degree angle? This way, when a team pushes against you directly, your arms will automatically lift/slide off the bar because they are slanted. In this fashion, a team still cannot limbo under the bar because they would be riding up your 45 degree slant. Except... this option wouldn't really work if the third stage is powered by a motor... which it doesn't look like it is. It looks like it pivots freely in which case this would work.


In fact, it's even better than the 90 degree bar because they have nothing to push against. As soon as they hit the slant they would just ride up it.
