You crush them with the bridge and keep going.
Video (Match 91): http://www.more.net/content/2012-qualification-matches
At 2:38 in the video you can see that 967 is dealing with a ball under the bridge. Eventually they give up and go to the other side where they knock a ball into the other side of the bridge as well. 1986 come to the original side and crushes the ball with the bridge while climbing on. We do have to stay towards that end to keep the ball from preventing 967 climbing on after us.
PS. This was the exciting match where all 6 robots end up balanced, 2 on each bridge. Blue has a 19 point lead when red completes the double balance to take a temporary lead. Blue counters with their own double balance (even though only a single was needed) for the victory. Meanwhile the co-op bridge is blocked on both ends by ball adding to the drama previously described.
