I'll second this. I did field reset during the practice matches at the WPI Regional. Balls that roll under the bridge immediately roll back out unless they're pinched by the bridge and the deflector (which happens rarely). From what I've seen, the only time balls prevent a team from tipping the bridge is when they're prevented from rolling out by the robot that's trying to tip it.
