In 2003, I was volunteering on Galileo. I'm pretty sure it was the Techno-Ticks that seemed to break the domes, on average, once per match. That may have been due to mounting or driver error, but going under the bar for them meant plastic on the field. My team didn't have that problem, as our light was mounted so it had to go below the frame if we went that route.

I seem to remember them having their light mounted on a springy platform so that it would dip down as they went under the bar.

I may be thinking of another team, but either way, it apparently wasn't an effective solution.
