Re: Definition of Balanced Bridge
We had an interesting situation at Lake Superior. Two bots and one ball on the bridge. The ball was mushed up against the side wall between the two bots. Now, there was a GDC ruling that a bot touching the side wall would be considered as partially supported by the wall and balance would still be awarded. But in this case the ball was between the wall and the bot and one could argue the high friction of the ball against the wall may have provided some extra support, thus resulting in failure to balance.
I believe the balance was awarded, however.
