I'm not trying to say it's not a really cool idea, but I wouldn't say it was one of the best designs.

Actually why it didn't work was at the competition, the bridges ended up having an extra 2-3 inches of polycarb hangoff which made them dip lower than they expected. Also, the ramp didn't pan out because the refs would give their opponents major penalties for "crossing their bumper perimeter" everytime they drove on them to get on the co-op bridge.
