Our team built a ramp with a small section of the bar attached to it on one side and two goals. I have found that this has become great for demonstrations. Doesn't take up all that much room, but lets us do everything that our bot could do in competition (big balls, balance, limbo). Bridge was built to exact specifications but I found that over time it became much more "stickier" (Must be from our team being in Virginia!). We built it pretty soon after the game was released, although not as quickly as I would have liked to have. Having the field there was GREAT for idea testing and visualization, along with testing some key things during the building phase like "will the robot actually fit under that thing?"
