practice practice practice.

I think a lots of teams will be able to balance 2 goals.

Having another robot stabilze the bridge so the balance point can be found more easily would speed things up - a slippery wedge on the far side or something to engage the lip, or Klee Klamp on the bridge, until alliance partner is balanced then a dash to the end zone. I think it will be easy to balance one goal, harder to balance two - very hard to lift the bridge from the downside even if it is unloaded.

I don't think it will be that easy to get big balls on top of goals either - again a good mechanism and well
rehersed operators and drivers will be the key.

So my 'perfect game' would be 40 ball points, 40 robot points both 2 goals balance in 1.5 minutes for
720 points, (or 792 for the ball handler!)
