Re: Bump or bridge?

The bridge is a safe-haven from defending/opposing robots. As long as you are traversing the bridge of your color, your robot is "completely protected" from any defensive or opposing robots. One side of the bridge leads to your alley, which is also "safe" from opposing robot interaction (unless the opposing robot wants to get fouled). These are guaranteed by rules G28 and G25.

I could not say the same for the bump. A good defensive robot could theoretically pin you anywhere near or on the bump, which causes problems.
