Do bridges stay tilted?

[SenorZ]

There is also nothing I can find in the rules that says a robot can't aid a bridge in leveling by pushing on the ground with some sort of extension (within the 14' limit).

For the Coopertition Bridge you have to be fully supported on the bridge, ie no extend-o feet (G41). But there is no such stipulation for the alliance bridges.

Interesting. To be honest, this seems like something that could be a typo with the manual, something I would keep in mind, it could be changed in updates

But in rule 2.2.5 of the Arena it says that within 5 degrees of horizontal is balanced... I guess it would be ridiculous to have a robot force a "balance" state with legs or some sort.

Isn't there no stipulation for the alliance bridges so that three robots could squeeze (with the end two possibly hanging off), for extra points during eliminations?

I don't think so. If a robot is hanging off a balanced bridge and not leaning on anything else, what is supporting all its weight? I'd guess the bridge.

<G41> says that if the Coopertition Bridge is balanced (under the same criteria as the Alliance Bridges, for lack of further detail) you get 2 coopertition points. It's when it's not balanced that they stipulate full support, in order to get 1 coopertition point.
