Who said they were placed? ;]

Very impressed to see this!
37 inches long for all of them. There are no supports or weights. And that's for you to decide. ;] We'll have some fun stuff up tonight. Thank you!

I'd still say wide is the way to go.
Who said that the two end robots have the same CG's? I'm fairly positive they both aren't exactly the same anymore, especially with lack of minibot ramp, paint, and electronics board configuration, they are fairly different now. I do agree with the none of them get to move though, regardless of weights and CG.

Fairly close to none.

Yes all three robots could drive onto the bridge with a little frame scrape, but did we drive them all together? You'll just have to wait and see.

As close as we could get it. A little tip for anyone building the bridge is you're going to need to add weights to each end. And quite a bit of it too.
