Re: How much Bridge Space does your robot need?
This is gonna be a situation in the Alliance pickings where you're gonna see teams look for two types.

-Ball Manipulator: Shooter/Feeder that can rack points up or keep feeding a shooters
-Odd ball/Small ones: Something I can shove in the middle or that hangs off the edge, or even holds a robot on top in the middle.

I think the #8 seed is gonna have the best pick. They can pick their shooter right off the bat and then grab a 179/118 type or something similar to 701.

Then if you add in the shorter robots (28" frame), easy turning robots, mecanums, etc., That bridge is gonna be very entertaining in that bracket.
