Most teams by now have probably thought about the center goal dilemma….

It is my belief that the center goal will be the limiting factor as to the amount of points that could be scored.

So has anyone built the complete “competition” center goal?
If so…what is the amount of balls the top can hold and how long does it take for the balls to empty out?

Try again. He's asking about the center goal, not the corner. In regards to the center goal: we have a "complete" goal (it's missing all the backing stuff--we count a score as going in, even if it bounces off the brick wall just behind it and leaves). It may take about 5 seconds or more for a ball to come out the hole, assuming no jams. For the record, we have problems with jamming between the ramp and a structural member (that probably won't be there in competition) about 10% of the time. None on ball to ball jamming.
