Go to Post In real life (IE when you go to apply your engineering skills to tasks in industry) there will be constraints on all sorts of things - many of which may or may not be "fair" or even "intelligent". You must learn to either work around them or use them to your advantage - preferably a bit of both. - OScubed [more]

Re: An idea how to get over barrier and tilt the bridge in one

I like the concept. If I have understood your vision, additional benefits, unrelated to bump crossing, are (i) it could also be configured to drop the bridge, (ii) be used as an extended contact point in the key for fowl point opportunism and (iii) if a motor (ballast) will be at the arm end, the mechanism could double as CG fine tune for balancing.

Re: An idea how to get over barrier and tilt the bridge in one

I meant that the wheels be planted 8 in inward on both sides. Also the whole assembly would be longer than 1 foot perhaps. I haven't thought this out completely but i believe there's worth in the concept and it's worth developing by someone.
