From purely speculation I'd bet that the goal can handle at least one bins worth (~50-60) of balls in each goal at a time which seems like a reasonable maximum amount of balls for one robot to hold. From the video the return mechanism looks like it can run at a rate of about 10 balls per second. Considering that fuel that has not be counted after tele op will not be scored It seems like it would be a somewhat poor idea to put in more than it can count in a 10 second period. I can't find mention of capacity outside the team videos so it's probably a good question for the Q&A.
