Go to Post Innovating for the sake of innovating, reinventing the wheel is probably the second biggest pitfall you can fall into when designing an FRC robot, if the wheel is already a very optimized, good solution. - Chris is me [more]

Re: The holes in the bridge are for?

It seems very likely to me that the holes are for the balls.
Oh ye of little imagination...

With 3 robots on the bridge, no robot can move in order to balance. Thus the only way to account for differences in weight & c.g. would be to have an arm or slide that can transfer a little bit of weight from one side to the other. It's also much more precise than driving.

Don't think robots will have arms this year? I suspect many teams will have bridge lowering mechanisms powered by motors.
