Even in a hypothetical situation this is a terrible idea. If the bridge comes down too hard, then robot=dead.

I agree, however, I would outright say that this isn't allowed as per [G11] and [G12].
Quote:
[G11]
Robots may not become entangled in the Arena elements.
Violation: May be disabled and will not be freed until after the Match has finished.
|
Quote:
[G12]
Robots may not damage any part of the Arena, including Basketballs.
Violation: Potential Disablement if the Head Referee determines that further damage is likely to occur. Corrective action (such as eliminating sharp edges, removing the damaging mechanism, and/or re-Inspection) may be required before the Robot will be allowed to compete in subsequent Matches.

Entanglement and damage to the polycarb are very probable if this strategy is employed, so I would personally and unofficially say it isn't allowed.
But I agree with SuperNerd, you shouldn't do it anyway for both GP and robot safety. (I realize you said you weren't planning on doing this, but others may consider it.)
