Re: The holes in the bridge are for?

I didn't even think it would be for steadying the balls at the beginning of the match. The manual *I believe* is very vague as to the position of the placement of the balls, but this COULD be a possibility. Random placements at the beginning of the match (ala 2005 tetra placements at the start of a match) maybe?

Aside from that discussion, my first thought for the purpose behind the holes (which I'm surprised no one brought up yet) would be a deterrent to add a vacuum suction cup to the bottom of your robot to hold yourself in place.

This was assumed by myself & some of my other veteran team members from experiencing first hand teams doing this in the past for games (2006 actually comes to mind - or any other year with a surface similar to the plastic(ish) top of this year's ramps.

Do the "holes" actually go all the way go through the top most ramp material to let air/other things fall through, or are they just countersinks?
