Directly above the extra 40lbs of ballast I would recommend bolting onto your robot at the competition. From observation it is very difficult to balance 2 if the second one is light, as the first bot moves up the bridge to give the second space, the light bot isn't heavy enough to hold it down so it starts to tilt and they flip, even when the 2 robots stay very close together.
