balls! balls! Balls!

Hey Jnadke-

From what I keep seeing, everyone assumes that there will be lots of balls available for a ball getter to grab on the field. What happens if you have a little, wedge fronted bot that is very fast, start the round by running down the opponent's edge of the field and shoveling the balls off the floor. For that matter simply blocking the machine's path may be enough.
Maybe the ball getter will get a few balls but I doubt if they will get all 20 on their side. Meanwhile the bad boy's partner is grabbing goals or balls on the other side of the field.

I haven't had the opportunity to play rounds yet but I can see ball grabbers having trouble if the line of balls is shoveled out or scattered.

Just an opinion.....
