Hi Dodd,

For a non-physics person...what does this mean? I think your message answers the following two questions, but can you make it easy for me:

How much weight placed at the lip of the bridge would begin to move the bridge from tilted position?

How much weight placed at the lip of the bridge would begin to move the bridge from balanced position?

Also, I assume that loading the bridge with, say, a 100 lb robot and two 70 lb goals would raise the weights required to move the bridge. Is that intuition correct?

Thanks,

Eric.
