This stretches absolutely nothing, if you're taking a standard engineering approach to balancing first you must define "balanced" which they did in the manual, saying all robots must be supported by the bridge and it must be level. Second you look for what the define the "bridge" as, which in this case is an engineering drawing with all parts listed.

I should hope they don't punish anyone for taking a fairly standard path of thought regarding solving an engineering problem.
