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.
Be watchful of the "man this is so cool we should do it in build" as I've embarrassingly fallen victim to it so many times before, with varying results. - Aren_Hill [more]
