6WD 8" pneumatic zero drop here - we've turned quite easily on the bridge during home practice, balanced or unbalanced, but not really with other bots on there at the same time. I'm not sure we can be pushed anywhere once sideways - never bothered asking anyone else to try!

We've thought before about meaningful ways to hang one side of the drivetrain off the edge of the bridge...that's a scary thought! We'll keep thinking.
