Here's how it works.

1. The robot to ride piggy back (4028) balances on the bridge (or any legal bridge for that matter).
2. the robot to carry piggyback (1501) drives up to the bridge and gets part of the platform under the edge of the bridge.
3. The first robot (4028) drives off the bridge and onto the second robot (1501).
4. The second robot pulls away from the bridge to allow the third robot (1756) to get on the bridge
5. The first robot (1501) balances the bridge with the third robot (1756) as any standard two robot balance would proceed.
6. Collect 40 points for a 3 robot balance
Rat Dude you had it mostly right. 1756 goes on first followed by 4028. They over balance to bridge so we can get our Fantail under the bridge. They then over balance back onto us. 4028 drives onto us and we pull away. 1756 rotates the bridge towards us and we drive on to balance. Easy Peasy.
