I agree about being at a disadvantage, but as another way of approaching the overall problem, I've seen several alliances triple balance with a couple of long robots by turning the robots once on the bridge and pushing them sideways. Requires an (preferrably wide-based) alliance partner with a good pushing drivetrain, of course.
