: I've been looking at lots of pictures of other robots, and they don’t seem to me that many of them are particularly built for balancing the bridge.

: I mean, I saw a few other robots doing it, such as Wildstang's robot... but most other robot seems to concentrate on grabbing goals or big balls or going under the bar.

: Is it that easy to balancing the bridge using just the drive train? Am I missing something about the bridge that makes it easy?

: So, my main question is, are there any robot out there specifically built a device that will help balancing the bridge (beside just the drive train)?

From what I've been reading, our method of balancing the bridge is rather unique. As usual, we're late with the construction, but as soon as it's finished, I'll post pictures (probably around 5 p.m. on Tuesday).
