i dont know if they will but double hinges tend to go back to neutral unless with a force is applied.

It appears that the Bridge Deck (GE-12018) is HDPE but it appears that there is a Bridge Surface level above that (GE-12095) is made of clear polycarbonate.

Y'all are right. Sorry about that. I should stop reading drawings so quickly

If you watch the field tour videos on FIRST's youtube channel, you will see that the bridges return to a level state if they are not influenced externally. Further they give you guidelines to ensure that your bridges have similar dynamics to the actual bridges.

Because of the amount of FIRST!!!!!! titled videos that show up in a simple search, I have included the link to the channel below, and below that the specific bridge video.

Good Luck!

As an aside, can anyone tell me why on earth someone would take a video, that is already on youtube, then upload it again under their username and not at least give a link to the rest?

As an approved field builder and kickoff coordinator I can confirm that the bridges were designed/intended/function by returning back to level after weight is removed.

That makes a HUGE difference in strategy and design because you don't have to push down a bridge that's 24 inches high. Phew!
