I disagree with your theoretical "professional grade" statement (not that perfection is required on FIRST robots). Check those 2" holes in the pics I linked earlier (I can take other pictures tomorrow, if you're not convinced). All done with a single hole-saw, deburred by hand, and then sanded with fine sandpaper. It looked/looks great.

Also note the offset holes, like Holtzman mentioned earlier.
