Re: Bump or bridge?

This may have been mentioned earlier, but our team is thinking that one robot in each alliance will most likely want to be a guard and pass balls to their alliance's scoring side. This means that the guard bot would only have to cross over once. Using the bridge once per game does not seem like a good enough reason give your robot the ability to jump the bump.


Also anyone planning on just going over the bump is forgetting a very important thing. You will have to have a way to get onto the bridges for end game. For these reasons the people who are planning on doing both seem like their doing the right thing. Personally I feel that it's unnecessary to jump the bump, and that doing so could cause you more problem (ex. tipping, router getting jostled and loosing connection, and potential for damaging the robot just from impact.)
