Just though of this while playing Runescape. What if the two robots that we're going on the cooperation bridge left like with 20 seconds left in the game to make sure that it would get done. Would either one of those robot still shoot there basketballs while they are on the bridge, I mean I don't see any rules that this would violate. But correct me if I'm wrong.

You can take the shot, but given the energy needed to lauch the ball, I would expect your bridge to go unbalanced. Probably not a good trade unless you are about to lose the match.

This brings up an interesting question because the bridge would likely re-level after the shot has been released. So, If the bridge were to be wobbling when the buzzer hits 0, but stops (after the buzzer) in a rest position that is "balanced", do you score points?
