What I heard and observed from being at the competition is that 3534's center of gravity is indeed over the bridge when it does its side hang.

Cannot believe this was allowed to compete after 118 was denied.

You can clearly see from the picture that this team tried to put as much weight on one side of their robot as possible. Why would they have designed it to ALMOST have its CG above the bridge but not quite?
