So each alliance still owns its alley, but not the bridge that leads to it? The words "Key, Alley, or Bridge" replace by "Key or Alley" in [G29]? And [G25] replaced by a rule (wording TBD) that protects the act of balancing a bridge? Is this what you mean?
My initial impressions: (1) qualifying strategy would be VERY different from elimination play -- many teams would shoot less during qualification. (2) would a concept of transient bridge ownership (e.g., based on being fully supported by the bridge) be needed, to establish which robot is "interfering" with bridge balancing?

I believe in intuition and inspiration. Imagination is more important than knowledge. For knowledge is limited, whereas imagination embraces the entire world, stimulating progress, giving birth to evolution. It is, strictly speaking, a real factor in scientific research.
