Mike, thanks.

When we built our bridge, we greased it to make it the "worst case scenario". Then we wend to Grand Rapids and had to make a slight change, only changing the variable in one direction.

Then, we came home, and it still worked out our loose bridge.

Needless to say, there is a window of what works. I don't think that the bridges will be any more different than the two we have played on (home and W. Mich.). I suppose that if the bridges tighten up before the qual. matches, they will loosen as the comp. goes.

At least I hope so... if we do have to make a change... it doesn't take too long. Also, our driver is pretty good a balancing manually, so we should be OK. Also, with all of the wedge bots out there... and ramp bots, we may not even get to autobalance in the finals... I just hope that we get to see.

Andy B.
