Re: Pushing down the bridge
We weighed our bridge down more than was necessary and used the FP motor and gearbox -- not only would it tip the bridge, the bridge barely slowed it down.
Mind you, we haven't yet used it on an actual competition bridge (and that, as usual, makes me nervous), but it seems to have well more than enough torque to handle the job. (Of course, the length of your moment arm matters, too!)
Might I suggest that you do the math?
