It seems very likely to me that the holes are for the balls.
I think it would help because presumably the best strategy to balance 2 robots is to get one in about the right position and move the other one around. The suction cup would mean the one staying still wouldn't slide. It would also be helpful if you had a movable mass on your robot.
