G40 question from Q&A

So I was reading the Q&A earlier and came across this:

Q. What physical parts make up the bridge by definition? Essentially, where does the bridge begin and end? For example, does the welded structure under the bridge that the top connects to count as the bridge? Does the lateral bar that rotates with the bridge that count as the bridge?
A. The Bridge consists of all components included in the Bridge Assembly drawing, GE-12017


Does this mean that a team that was unable to come up with a shooter or was planning to play pure defense but score in the end game could simply build a robot that is say, 6" tall in the front and 8" in the back and ram itself under the bridge to maintain the balance of the bridge? According to Q&A, all parts shown in drawing GE-12017 are part of the bridge. That would include the sheet of plastic that is meant to eject balls from under the bridge. So a short enough robot could drive under as long as it was completely on the plastic sheet, right? Seems like it could make the three robot balance a bit more attainable, although in a very Dukes of Hazzardish floor it and pray kind of a way.

We don't plan on doing this, I just want to know if I am reading this correctly...but an orange robot with a dixie horn would be pretty sweet.
