Blatant sarcasm is blatant...

The point of "over the barrier or over the bridge" is for gameplay, not for endgame. I assume most teams will understand the importance of the endgame (especially in elims, where 3 robots on the alliance bridge is worth 40 points) and will at least be able to balance on the bridge, if not have a mechanism to lower the bridge themselves (which is important for at least 1 team in the match to have for coopertition points).

As for the actual question of the thread, we intend to go over the barrier at this point, with a similar skid system like Henzado described.
