Re: Bump or bridge?

If your design can cross the bump, then you will never be forced to cross the bridge.

As a competitor in the 2001 competition with a similar bridge, I can tell you going over that WILL take you longer than you think, and WILL tip more robots than you think it will. Also, tipping the bridge down so that you can initially get onto it will not be a trivial task for most teams, and will take a significant amount of time. Do not forget that the bridge does not stay down and must be lowered before you can begin to traverse it.

If you doubt me, look up some game video from 2001 and see how bad it can be, that year there were no apposing alliance, everyone was working together as one time and still some robots never traversed the bridge.
