How did the winning robot in 2001 deal with the bridge/ramp?
With the 2001 game, you wanted to balance the bridge with two goals on it, but no robots. Team 71 pushed the goals onto the bridge using arms extended out, mechanically leveled the bridge, spread the arms apart, and drove to the end zone. That's a rough description; I've slept since then, so may not have explained it exactly right.
