Re: The afterthought bridge manipulator

We have a wedge powered up and down by a window motor the wedge is pushed back into the bumper when we hit the bridge thus holding it rigid as we lower the bridge, the advatage of it is that A you don't have to retract it to keep moving and B you have the full force of your drivetrain lowering the bridge
