I believe a ballancing robot would have some criteria it must meet to be consitered a true balancing robot. First off, it should deffinetly have the ablility to ballance the ramp built into it somehow. I.E. outriggers, software programs, arms etc. Finally, the robot should be able to do it well, balancing the bridge at least 75% of the time. Now there is also some grey area about these 'balancers'. Some of them can do other things, like grab big balls, and such. They should not be limited to being only 'balancers', but should not also be classified as a 'baller'. but for the sake of this arguement, if a robot can ballance the bridge while meeting the criteria above, then it will be a ballancer. If it can do other things, it will be classified as a balancer that can also (insert other skills here).
