Assuming you only score one ball in auto :rolleyes:

Good point. (the rule quoted below makes scoring multiple possible-realistically)

Also I don't think I missed anything this big, but is there any rule preventing carrying more than 1 ball?

For ROBOTS starting in the white ZONE, the TEAM may preload one (1) of their ALLIANCE’s BALLS such that the BALL is touching their ROBOT.

For ROBOTS starting in their GOALIE ZONE the TEAM may decide if the BALL is: staged between the TRUSS and the ZONE LINE and not contacting an ALLIANCE partner, or removed from the FIELD for the MATCH.

If a ROBOT does not report to a MATCH, its ALLIANCE may decide if the BALL is: staged between the TRUSS and the ZONE LINE and not contacting an ALLIANCE partner, or removed from the FIELD for the MATCH.

Only the volume of the ball.

Camera never works for us for one reason or another and I don't see why it is necessary for this year

Your team should check out the software documentation resources of WPIlib this year. It includes extensive documentation of vision processing including full code examples for hot zone detection in Labview, C++ & Java.
