Crossing the bridge seems like the way to go, and it makes the intake design much more simplistic. It could even be faster... Please confirm that my reasons for not going over the bump are logical...
Well, as our team is finding out, it's a bit more difficult than they though to tip the bridge. If this statement is true, I'm not sure. But we're fairly certain we'll be traversing the barrier and saving the bridges for endgame.
