could be putting anything from ten to a hundred balls into the goal.
If you filled the entire volume of your robot with spheres, you'd only be able to fit 50 spheres in your robot. Proof:

Maximum volume of robot, M=34,560 inches cubed.
Volume of sphere, S=4/3*PI*5^3=523.6 inches cubed
Optimum packing order of spheres, P=0.74
Maximum amount of balls in robot: M*P/S=49. Q.E.D
