Deciding which bridge to go for

Here is a fun question. In the endgame, you have a choice of two bridges to head for: your own, and the coopertition bridge. Which one should be your priority? How does the number of robots left operating on each side effect your decision? Does the point spread effect your decision? How about the relative rankings of the teams?

At our first glance, it appears that the first priority should always be to go for the cooperition bridge, but we haven't done an in-depth look yet. (One definite exception would be if there are no operating robots left on the other side of the field.)
