A couple of points

1: If there are a fair number of defensive minded teams, small balls will be more of a hinderance than a help. You and your goal are pretty much sitting ducks during the 15-20 seconds you'll spend trying to get the goal filled. I predict that there will be a lot of empty goals balanced.

2: As it stands right now (although I bet the rule will be changed), the human players are allowed to throw small balls at a goal balanced by the opposing alliance (only "opponent robots" are prohibited from upsetting the balance). If this rule is not changed, I think we'll have more of a robot dodge-ball game going on than anything else.
