I had a question regarding the red part of the bridge (on the north
wall):
Is it safe to assume that those pieces WILL NOT be glued to the table

Thanks,
Enit

Teams using strategy to go under the low portion of the bridge (north
wall)
may benefit from using AA batteries because the lithium rechargeable
battery
pack adds about a 1/4" in height to the NXT brick.
