Re: Video of first ever triple balance
Yes it is a pneumatic cylinder with a telescoping square tube and castor that allows their back wheels to hang off the edge of the bridge and to prevent it from tipping back their direction. (As far as I know they didn't use it in this match). Also of note, 922 is mecanum in the long direction, so 148 is pushing them up the bridge sideways.
That match was amazing, I was at the scoring table and was just in shock, you can see me walk away from the table (I was only an inspector) and throw my hat after they get balanced. I haven't seen that many camera phones come out that quickly before in a long time.
