If you use surgical tubing or another kind of spring to balance your bridge keep in mind that the resulting spring force increases as it stretches. So, you will be increasing the equivalent weight of your bridge as you tilt it. If you build a tilting mechanism that can tilt your bridge then it should have no problem with the competition bridge, but you may also end up over designing it. This could be a problem if your robot needs to go on a diet.
