Simple communication with the team across the field will be difficult, but the largest problem is how would you pull down the bridge? You can't push down with the greater-than-120 pound force needed to push the other robot up, because your own bot would lift off the ground from the force of the mechanism. So unless you can coordinate driving, simply getting two bots on there won't happen.

Well some teams are going to make their robot small enough that all they do is try to score on the balencing part which could be a good stratigie in the finals for that extra 40 points if u balence 3
