From my experience, you can't be the best at every aspect of the game. In fact, the best robots in the past specifically ignored parts of the game to focus on others.
469 in 2010 couldn't hang. 71 in 2002 couldn't put balls into goals. 233 in 2006 couldn't load from the top, 25 couldn't pick up from the field.

When discussing a strategy like this, I assume that's the only thing the robot will be good at.

Sure, the GDC could've said that all robots supported by the bridge had to be above the plane of the top surface of the bridge, but then they'd void 179's style of hanging.
