Would this change your thinking on the number of balls scored?
The three pre-populated gears are in addition to the 12 gears that need to be cycled by alliances. In total, there will be 15 gears in the Airship to get all 4 Rotors spinning, but only 12 of them need to be brought there by robots. I would guess those pre-populated gears were placed there in case the gears are less of a challenge than the GDC expected, so they can increase the difficulty before champs.
