I'm a fan of that method as well, that's how our 3 FTC teams lowered the bridge in the 2011 game. The only difference was that since in FRC you have bumpers the mechanism couldn't be passive like our FTC ones were it would have to powered I.e 343's method.

Though we haven't run into a problem with our current design yet, and we like to also have the ability to hold the bridge up for making it easier for the other 2 robots to get on.
