Re: Who Has a Bridge-Balancing Mechanism?

Team 179's mechanism has several prposes. when it hangs off the end it is pretty effective but it balances by such a little marging its hard to judge. Its also dangerous for partner robots as only very heavy robots or 2 othere robots can balance and they must balance very far off the other end. Their robots biggest use is lowering the bridge for others and being used as a ramp.
Its really cool to watch though, and always makes the end of a match more exciting
