I think that the holes in the "rails" are access points for attaching the yellow "lexan" piece to the rails. The holes in the lexan are for possibly mounting to a support system (not as likely, if others are correct that this is lexan because it would add expense but not be durable enough for robot interactions) or a sensor (maybe to count balls by color, or something like that, as someone mentioned about a hundred posts ago). Either way, if these are linked together, there would be pipes between two of these elements that are seen. The posts that stick out near the ends from each rail are likely used to attach to another element, and the shown piece does not look like it can attach to another of itself. It has male connectors at each end, and would need to connect to a female connector (if the theory about linking these together is correct).

And don't forget - all the stuff about about reflection/refraction of the images could be the clue, and not the pictured element at all. What if the drivers area wall were contstructed in a manner that skewed the vision of the drivers? That would certainly add a new element to the game - driving by remote camera or other indirect sensor of robot position.
