Is there anything more in the manual that defines "balanced"? If not, at this point, it does not appear to require that robots be supported only by the bridge.

Correct so far, but I'm willing to bet a rules update will say so... We have to read these rules as engineering guidelines and with common sense, and not try to 'lawyer' them -- chances are very good that this one will be explained away.
As to the discussion on whether or not to do the coopertition ramp, the answer is yes in all situations save one: if you have a choice of only doing your own ramp (or something else to score points) or the coopertition ramp, and doing that alternate thing will likely result in a win, it is to your alliance's seeding advantage to do that alternate thing instead of the coopertition ramp.
