Don't be so quick to dismiss strategy... Besides awesome versatile robots, it's what wins games every single year.

By my interpretation of the rules you can't have more than 3 balls there since trapping them in that manner is considered controlling them.

To answer the question of the post. Why go over the bump? It's faster and I believe safer too since there is less chance of tipping over. We plan to only go on the bridge to balance.
