Based on past experience with this type of mechanism it should be fairly easy. The order of operations would be: deploy rear carwash, run the rear-ward carwash in to grab a ball off the ground and pinch it against the bumper, drive forward to the low goal, run both carwashes at the same time towards the goal, pushing both balls in.

Might work, haven't tested it yet since we're being plagued by control/wiring issues.
