Re: Let's Talk About The Bridge:

Last year our robot had a "finesse" mode, that literally slowed down the arm motors and the drive motors. I think a similar mode (that can simply be activated by a button on the joysticks or a toggle switch) could be highly beneficial when trying to just drive your robot to balance.

If your robot this year ends up with any kind of swinging chute or arm, then you could probably use that to effectively shift the center of gravity.

In the eliminations how does the coopertition bridge play out? I can't find that anywhere.
My understanding is that the Coopertition bridge gives you only qualifying points, and is therefore not necessary in the elimination rounds.
