However, the LE goal hopper maxes-out at 70 balls, so anything above 70-75 offers little additional advantage. With this new information we redesigned the gear manipulator to pick-up gears off the floor which ultimately cut our estimated capacity down to the 65-70 range.

One thing to consider is the low efficiency goal's processing rate and your robot's dumping rate. The low goal will be processing the balls as you feed it so if processing rate > robot feed rate then it shouldn't max out. It's a pretty standard related rates problem to optimize given robot dump rate, goal max capacity, and goal processing rate.
