The bridge was also surfaced with fiberboard, which at after a rough test we determined to have about 1/3 the CoF as HPDE like Lexan.
We'll also be getting a 48"x88" HDPE board soon, so we'll resurface the ramp and run the test again, but I can conclude that mecaums won't have too much trouble on the bridge.

could you two or other teams possible post a video so we can see. we do not have the resources to build a ramp quickly and need to see what it looks like.
