Rules for the ramp in competition

What are the rules regarding robots balancing on bridges?

Do all wheels have to be touching the bridge to be considered legal?

Re: Rules for the ramp in competition

The wheels do not have to be touching the bridge, but the whole robot MUST be completely supported by the bridge - as in, not supported by the floor.

There's a second update which updates the first.

Re: Rules for the ramp in competition

Thanks! I read the rules and the update and thought it was a bit vague. Is it legal for one robot to support another while both on the bridge? (neither touching the ground)

Re: Rules for the ramp in competition

Only if neither is touching another structure, other than the bridge. But other than that, you're all good!
