I guess I measure complexity in a different way. It does look very simple - but looks are misleading.

It has about twice as many unique parts as any other robot we have made. All mechanisims had to be fit in a slim package to maintain a smooth top. The drive system uses 2 driven holonomic wheels (4 wheel drive power with 2 wheel drive turning capability). It has a gear box just to drive a pot to feedback the position of the bridge lifter. It uses the photosensors to determine if we are close enough and parallel to the bridge (requried since it is hard to see where it is over the bridge). And in general, there are many new mechanisims that we never designed in the past (risky design as you said). And my most important measure of complexity - the amount of sleep I had to give up to architect and integrate this design!
