I find it somewhat disturbing that this problem is being considered part of the challenge, when they went to specific lengths to assure us it wouldn't. |
From the video: "Its there to
help balls roll out from under the bridge."
I haven't seen or heard anywhere where FIRST has specifically said that balls
wouldn't get stuck under the bridge. As seen in the video, the polycarb sheet lifts on one side when the other side of the bridge is pushed down. The weight of the bridge has to be removed from the top of the ball before it will roll out. From the field demo video that you linked, it looks to me like the bridge and polycarb sheet are behaving just as FIRST expected.
