How fast can the corner goals detect balls going in?

[Excelsior]

Is there any rate at which the corner goals will miss balls? Like, if one ball goes in right after the other, could it be missed?

i have gotten assurances from a person who worked with testing/ developing the system that you can send 17 balls through the hole at the same time and the camera will see and distinguish them all.

I can imagine! What are they doing, running a Hough transform or something similar? Or is that proprietary? :D
