You are correct. if you use an arm to push the bridge down, then the wheel would aid in the fact it is sliding on the surface, but the other problem is the length of the arm needed will change as you drive forward. you either need to rotate the arm back up, or retract it along it's length as you drive forward. If you don't, the front drive wheels lift off the ground and/or your arm breaks.
