Re: The afterthought bridge manipulator

We were using a piston to push down the bridge, but it ended up not working because we did not have enough weight for a compressor. It definitely would have helped us at regionals, and ended up being even more important than we had expected (and we had thought it would be a very big deciding factor). We had planned for going over the bump with an eight-wheel drive system, but we kept getting caught on the frame when trying to. Maybe it was just our regional, but I never really saw anyone with a strategy that hinged on getting over the bump, except for occasionally dodging people playing defense on their side of the ramp. During the offseason, though, we will be working on the bridge mechanism.
