They beat us to the bridge but not by much. Once our drivers realized they weren't going to beat the cannon of 23 with our pnuematic bridge manipulator, they gave up to not waste any more time. If you look at other videos from the Suffield Shakedown there are matches where a pneumatic appendage beats a motor driven appendage. Its going to depend on every teams design.

I'd say that the center bridge during or right after hybrid will be fought over it nearly every match this season.
