Re: FRC Bridge Weight

Get your arm up to the level where you worry about things breaking
we had a 14" am powered by two window motors that wasn't strong enough for competition
we ended up adding weight to the arm (a package of electrical tape) and we still could use more

Something we figured out works for the bridge at FLR was if you rock the bridge and keep hitting it when it is moving down, you can knock the bridge over fairly quickly
