400 balls does seem like a long shot, but if you improved that accuracy to 50%, 240 seems more reasonable to me.
A "cycle" last year involved acquiring and releasing one ball. I know people can build some pretty darn fast shooters, but it's going to take a lot more time to expel 50 balls that it takes to expel one ball.

You also had 3 high goals and 2 low goals to align with last year. It was relatively rare you had to wait on a partner to move out of the way. This year that may not be the case. Especially once you consider the processing rate of the goals and the potential of overfilling.
