Hey guys,
Our team is going with a mecanum drive train that only goes over the bridge. However, when we were looking at mechanisms to push the the bridge down, we ran into a few issues. First off, it's been calculated that we need about 16-18 pounds of force to push the bridge down. We thought about using a servo-arm to do the job similar to this:

Thanks for the help!
