Hi Doug
Let me say nice way to implement the two bot stack.
Let me clarify. FRC Team 1501 would be able to stack a second robot and balance the bridge. My question is why? There is more than enough room on the bridge to get two bots. If you watch our stacking footage you will see that FRC Team 4028 never leaves our Flight Deck so FRC Team Team 1756's bot was not needed to hold them there. They were there as an insurance policy. We chose to do a three bot stack during the eliminations only.
