Re: Intake Size

I believe your calculations are correct, however I would like to remind you of one thing: you can only hold control 3 balls at a time. With a smaller intake, you would ensure that you obtain one ball at a time, thus reducing the risk of getting penalties. That was one of the reasons my team decided to go long oriented.
