Trying to get 3 robots on the same bridge at the same time AND balanced seems a monumental task. First, at least one of the 3, if not all, would have to be designed to "fit together" on the bridge. Secondly, they would have to cooperate to a high degree to do that, AND balance themselves. Third, it would take at least a minute, probably more, to get this done... which means you'd have to forgo most of the ball-shooting part of the competition. At that point, you've put all your eggs in one basket, and, if you fail, you could end up with just about zero pts!!

I'm wondering if there is some larger purpose to this to make ALL regional teams cooperate DURING the design/build process??
