Let's Talk About The Bridge:
Does anyone think an active balancing mechanism, like a moving heavy object, on the robot to balance 3 robots? My guess is, like most years, the majority of the robots will be around 120 lb and it would be relatively easy to balance one or two on the bridge. I had the idea of putting the battery and electronics on a platform that can be shifted from the front and back of the robot and anywhere in between to actively balance the robot. Having the weight shift back and forth instead of the actually moving the robot will be better when trying to squeeze 3 robots on the platform.
Any one have any objections to that? Relatively, it would only add a weight of a motor and the mounting. All the other weight will come from other necessary components such as the battery and other electrical components, perhaps even the shooting mechanism itself.
