I remember at FLR, we were going over the barrier when the robot lost the signal and actually stopped just in time to balance on the barrier itself.
We attributed it to the fact that both robots were so far away from the center of the bridge and basically "stuck" in place. As long as the weight is distributed correctly, you should in theory be able to balance despite any wobbling of the bridge.
