Re: Ball Stuck Under Bridge When Balancing?
No one has to receive a foul when a ball gets under a bridge. Balls got stuck all the time during week one of competition. Even so, the presence of the ball there means the bridge is not balanced on its own, thus the scoring of one point each.

These things happen. Thankfully, FIRST redesigned the ball ramps after week one and there have been many fewer stuck balls since then.
