I don't get what all the confusion about this feat is. It's very simple and obvious what is going on. Maul grabs the hyperdrives and begins trying to rip them down. This causes the various supports to eventually break at which he further accelerates the drives downward causing them to crash into the clones and the walkway. He never targets the supports themselves nor does he hold the drives up.
Sometimes the simplest interpretation is the correct one.
I just had a closer look at the scene, now I think ares and scizard are partially correct. The hyperdrives are already gradually falling apart before the clones even arrive (i.e. 23 seconds), Maul accelerates their fall when the clones arrive. But you guys are forgetting that the reason why they are falling apart in the first place was because Maul was constantly shaking them throughout the entire process, Maul was contributing to their gradual fall the entire time. Moreover, Maul accelarates the hyperdrives fall specifically when the clones arrive, indicating that he was baiting them out, knowing that they were going to come, and he chooses the time of their arrival to accelerate the fall of the hyperdrive, which suggests that the reason why it took 23 seconds for him to accelerate their fall was because he wanted to wait for the clones arrive.

Right. Except I think that the clones coming in was just perfect timing, rather than him knowing choosing the time for them to fall, because the hyperdrives were going to block/collapse the bridge either way.

Perfect timing? Why can't it be Maul choosing the time for them to fall? The notion that it's perfect timing is out of universe plot convinience, whereas the notion that Maul chose the time to accelerate the fall is a feasible un-universe explanation.

Had to correct that spelling error.

yeah that sounds plausible, pretty impressive how how was contributing to its gradual fall etc almost like he was sort of holding it up a bit by moving it very slowly etc..

They would've collapsed/blocked the bridge regardless. I don't see anything showing that he's holding them up, just that he's destroying them.
