Posted by Matt Berube on 1/7/2001 6:43 PM EST:



: I think the best way to balance the ramp with the goals on it would be to grab the ramp from the floor, lift it to it's middle position, then push the goals with some kind of arm untill they are close to the middle. The final step is to cross your fingers and let go of the ramp.

Sure balancing the bridge with goals on it is pretty hard, if not impossible. But it is not without a system behind that action. There are deep physics/mechanical engineering/system control issues about balancing the bridge with goals and balls, and many variables to consider to get it working. Stuff like how many goals is on the ramp, how many balls in it, how to control the goals, what happens after failure of balancing... etc.

So, crossing my fingers and let go of the ramp probably isn't the best method to do a perfect job.
