These hoppers remind me a lot of the recycling bins from that FRC "Game" in 2015.

Do you think these hoppers might play out as the recycling bins did? Will there be Hopper Wars at high levels of play?
I think it will be exceedingly difficult to get two alliance partners aligned under a hopper and make sure no balls are lost to the floor in a reasonable amount of time.

I expect 250+ wiffle balls on the field even in final rounds.
