Yes we thought of this during build session and ended up using a two speed transmission this helps a ton on the bridge because it allows us to make very slow movements while on the bridge and it allows us to stay on the bridge if its tilted or not. the only bad thing is getting it of the bridge after we balanced as its hard to roll.
