Our robot plays defense and then goes on the bridge first. We head for the balance point and we go just past it enough to tip it down toward our two alliance partners, who can then roll right up with both of them bumper to bumper.

Since we are able to hang off the SIDE edge of the bridge with less than 1/2 of our width located above the bridge, our partners can drive right past us, stopping near the middle. This lets all of three of us remain closer to the center of the bridge as we balance it, making the job much easier than if we had two bots hanging off the ends. None of our alliance needs to go anywhere near the ends to still have a 3-bot balance in elimination round, and we all have plenty of bridge length to work with as we balance it.
