2733 Bridge balance

So today we lowered/balanced on the bridge for the first time. We found it a little too easy... so we pushed a kitbot up the ramp sideways to the center. Then we drove off and let the bridge balance.

Thing we learned: If an alliance member's robot is dead, push their robot on to the bridge anyway

(sorry no vid until the end of the season... don't want to spoil the surprise )

Question for all of you people: How have you lowered the bridge?

EDIT: This sounds much more impressive than it actually was (read my post below for the reasons). But it was still cool
