So, It would appear that robots don't move after the "talons" have pushed the bridge to level, but somehow, the bridge balances.
Is this because the CoM is in a position that it could be balanced, if the bridge were moved to level? (ie. tri-stable)

Looking good and making KC teams proud!
An object at rest wants to stay at rest. If you can eliminate the teeter totter aspect of the bridge, it becomes infinitely easier to balance and stay balanced.
