Our robot can fit under the Low Bar and, in theory, should be able to cross every defense by itself, so it's not impossible. However, this trade off my cause severe issues if we try to scale the tower as we'll have to develop something to grab the rung, which may prevent us from going under the Low Bar after it's added, which is also why we're considering it to be removable.

If you do go under the Low Bar, it's going to make doing other objectives harder, but not impossible.
