Also, on the platform thing. I did not read that anywhere in the manual, but I did notice it in the demo video. Does anyone know where it is in the manual?

There may be a shortage of balls in the last little bit of play. Teams do have 11 seconds to get the balls back into the game, and then it will take a few more seconds for them to roll down and land. No doubt one robot could score one goal in the time it would take to climb... but could two score four? I doubt three could score seven goals.... but I am expecting to have certain alliances prove me wrong on that.
Interesting scenarios... in 2004 I seem to recall very successful robots that would do nothing but play a bit of defense then go hang. This year the low point value certainly keeps hanging from being a dominant part of the game.
