Unfortunately we have only tried it on a practice bridge. I'm fairly confident that we can push down a competition bridge but not lift it to clear balls under it or operate it for our alliance partners to enter from the other side. Fortunately we have found the weight reduction to fit cylnders that increase our force by about 50% and may have the weight to fit cylinders that double its force. We do plan on attempting to obtain said cylinders before we leave for the Autodesk Oregon Regional on Wed.
