Re: Who Has a Bridge-Balancing Mechanism?

We recently took the biggest piston that we could find, put a ball cap on the end and riveted it to the chassis of our robot. Works like a charm.

Sometimes dumb ideas just work really well

We can now balance the bridge with only two wheels on the bridge (not legally).
