Re: pic: Two bot side balance
I was able to see this robot in action. It is steel ballast on the edge. The parts you see under the robot are alignment guides, and do not touch the sides the the rail when it is on the bridge. I believe (not being certain) that there is a surface which rides on top of the rail.
It would be no different than if a robot got bumped off the side of the bridge and they were resting on their chassis.
The head referee checked at the end of each match to make sure there was no lateral contact on the bridge.
