A Bridge will count as Balanced if it is (within 5° of horizontal and any Robots touching it are fully supported by it).

The English breaks the other way.

I think it should probably be rephrased "any Robot touching the Bridge must be fully supported by it"

Is it just me or did robots on the bridge during end game just become worth a whole lot more?

I think so, although I don't think that's what they intended. I does very clearly say the robots are the ones getting the points now, not the bridge. There are some other issues associated with the new wording as well, in regards to how [G25] is assessed.
