Re: The afterthought bridge manipulator

One of the big reasons that teams have such trouble lowering the bridge is that many assumed that bridge dynamics of the plywood version would be the same as the real bridge and paid dearly for this oversight. Even a weighted plywood bridge that passes the "battery test" for comp-type dynamics is really different from the actual bridge at the events. Take the time before any future events to prep an overpowered bridge tipper.
