When you are balancing 2 bots on a bridge, there is enough room that you do not need to touch the other bot.
The video is never a reliable source. They also have the robots holding basketballs and using them to balance, clearly in violation of [G14].

Strategies that use Basketballs to either aid or inhibit Balancing of any Bridge are not allowed.
Violation: Technical-Foul, and counting or discounting the affected Bridge as Balanced, as appropriate.
