Niot sure honestly if you could do it, should ask the Q and A when it opens if the majority of the robot need to be on the bridge.
That's not exactly what I was getting at. G40 says that robot(s) get points for being on a balanced bridge, which section 2.2.5 defines as within 5 degrees of horizontal. Unless I'm missing it, the rules never say the robot needs to be completely on or supported by the alliance bridge.

The question becomes is a robot that has an appendage resting on top of the bridge considered 'on the bridge'?

I think the answer is yes which should result in a rule change in the next update.
