Re: Bridge device failure fix

Our team had that in our first regional, but we still weren't able to lower the bridge. I assume it's lack of torque in our drive train, but I want to get other opinions.

We're using 6-wheel drive, with KOP Traction wheels in the center and omni-wheels for the other four. Each side is driven by one CIM (which I think is our problem) into a CIMple box, and the chains are all 1:1 ratios. Another problem was that a last-minute shooter design change forced us to move the arm to the side, and we couldn't afford the weight of a second arm (connected so as to not violate the one appendage rule) on the other side. We plan to fix both of those problems for our next regional, and I hope that will allow us to easily lower the bridge.
