Re: pic: 3098 teaser for 2012

Is that a bridge lowering mechanism towards the bottom of the picture? Seems as though a lot of teams are using this type of device.

If you ask our team if it's a bridge manipulator, the official answer is no. We argued for 2 weeks about what it's called, wheelie bar, bridge manipulator, or self correction tool. So the bottom line of it is, it's an MPT (Multi-purpose tool).

We rocked the Vex wheel drive & sensor mount for our turret in 2009 and had no major problems. We put a strip of high friction material (weather stripping, to be exact ) on the lazy susan to avoid slip.

Ok, cool. Looks pretty robust, should do the job or jobs in this case

^ good idea, based on the picture looks like 3098 could easily implement a mod like that.
