Lots... Having an alliance member open the drawbridge is a viable strategy for most robot configs. Of course, a quick look at the field drawings would verify if this is true for your particular config. The frc-field-drawings pdf package (2016FieldAssembly.pdf in particular) if you don't want to open the CAD files will answer all your questions.

(Further hint: Sheet 3 has lots of very nice dimensions).

It really is a very fine manual....
