Re: Bridge Balancing Device

What if instead of laying the plate down and hanging of the side, you just laid the plate down behind you while you are on the bridge and have an alliance partner drive on top of it. I think this would allow you to hang off farther than you normally would be able to (especially if your wheelbase couldn't safely hang half the robot over the edge). This was something we thought of in one of our early brainstorming sessions during the season, I am not sure why we didn't pursue it further.
