Re: Definition of Balanced Bridge

From Team Update 1-23: A Bridge will count as Balanced if it is within 5° of horizontal and all Robots touching it are fully supported by it.

Therefore if a robot uses a supporting mechanism to hold the bridge up for the entirety of the balancing act, the bridge will not count as balanced and any additional robots on the bridge won't count either, since the bridge, by definition, is not balanced.
