Could your robot hang from those pipe loops you mention if they were on another robot? I mention this because grabbing the 7 ft high bar and grabbing much lower ones (4ft? 3.5ft?) might be even trickier to do with the same mechanism. We think being able to hang from a range of bar heights will increase the scoring opportunities. We're encouraging other builders to incorporate a bar or bar simulator on their side away from the tower.
