: 1. Does anyone think that it is a feasible idea to
: use a wedge as a means of raising the bridge (will
: it work reliably)?

This depends on how well your device is designed. It would definetly be possible to make a device that can fit under the bridge, and there are devices in the kit with enough power to raise the bridge. The biggest question is whether you have enough time (or manpower) to do it well in 14 days.

: 2. How many solenoids can we use for the
: pneumatics?

You are only allowed to use the solenoids that were included in the pneumatics kit. This means that you are limited to 2 single solenoids and 1 double solenoid.

: p.s. we are a rookie team and are somewhat
: confused

Don't worry, we were all rookie teams at one point or another. And, we have all been confused multiple times. :-)
