Here is what we can do:
-We limbo
-Balance both goals with the help of an alliance partner (neither bot being on the bridge)
-Balance one goal from the floor very quickly
-Pick up the big balls and place then on the goals (even if they are on the bridge)
-move the goals easily anywhere on the field
-we can control the bridge to make if face either towards or away from us.
Well... its all set to go... can't wait to see you all in hartford... come by and visit us in the pits!!
Good luck...
