This clarifies that the ball does not score the low goal until it passes through the wall, into the alliance station, where it can be recovered and placed on a pedestal.
But now I wonder how hard it would be for a ball to get stuck in one of the low goals. Hopefully someone with access to a real field will provide some information on that. Also, with the fact that the low goal is so close in size to the ball itself plus the 7" lip at the bottom high goals might just be easier to score.
