2) The way the [G40] is now written, it's the robots which score the bridge points, not the bridge. It now appears to read that if two robots are balanced on the bridge, each scores 20 points. I have to assume this is not what they meant, since it drastically changes the value of the bridge, but it appears to be how it is now written. This means 3 balanced robots in qualifiers is worth 60 points, and 3 in eliminations is 120!
Upon re-reading the update, I think the key word is "Robots" - not "Robot". The collection of Robots, plural, on the bridge creates the 10, 20, or 40 point bonus, not each individual robot.
