Stinger: No
Tripled/#? Yest, 7 times
Team 1111 is also a long bot that can hang off the end of the bridge to make room for a triple. Our CG is back-biased so with the middle of our center wheel at the edge of the bridge we are balanced. We also have a brake mode.

1111: Long robot
Space on bridge: 24" with bumpers
Stinger: No
Tripled: In our shop, but not yet at competition since we only had 1 regional
