And of course I'll eat my words if it doesn't work that way on the competition bridge. I love words, they're so tasty, I eat them all the time. (now what smiley would you put here? wink? embarrassed? ???)

We can drive up the bridge and balance with just our mecanum wheels, too -- though balancing is even easier and more consistent with the traction wheels down. Where the traction wheels shine over the mecanum wheels is not moving nearly as much when bumped by a clumsy or over-exhuberant balancing partner.
