My experience was quite the opposite. In KC I could get almost anyone on a bridge. Sometimes their appendage was too weak for them to get on by themselves, but almost every drivetrain could follow me up the bridge for a co-op attempt.
We did have some difficulty with Jags set to coast instead of break. Teams had trouble keeping their drive train from sliding around the bridge as it tipped back to level in coast. Many younger teams did not fully understand the difference.
We saw drive trains with six pneumatic wheels, 2 friction and 2 omni, swerve, mechanum, even 4 mechanum with 2 omni. They could all balance with the right partner and someone to give them some pre-match coaching.
