What? And get scratches on it? Won't that change the CoF too? You mean Cof will be different in Elims than it was in Quals? week2 differs from week1? Week 6 balancers will have a cake walk on the scratch-covered bridges. Or do you think we'll get fresh polycarb each tournament?

All hail the goddess of uncertainty! I mean, I would if I knew in which direction to genuflect.

Re: How Slippery is the Bridge

if your wondering you are pretty much driving on a white board for the ramps which is really slick depending on the wheels you are using for this year, if you use the wheels from the KOP you have no problem on the bridge but if you use mechanum wheels you will be sliding all over the place on the ramp during the game

I dont think so. The mechanum wheels are a soft-ish rubber I think they will grip quite well, I also saw a youtube video of some one going up a bridge with mechanums.

Re: How Slippery is the Bridge

We had some hdpe laying around the shop, took one of the wheelchair wheels to it, the wheel stuck surprisingly well.
