So, in an effort to have higher scoring, and in turn more exiting and appealing games, I beleive that the 2x balls can by removed from the goal.

In the Q/A system, it was answered that un-intentional blocking (capping or un-capping being the intent) is still considered goaltending.
Is it just me, or do you think that it's going to be a challenge for the referees, drive-team, and spectators to keep up with the amount of penalties possible in this game? My guess is that many won't happen (such as pushing robots into the ball chutes, or breaking the wall plane, etc), but I think there will be a lot of goaltending calls early on.
Then I wonder if, since un-intentional blocking is goaltending, that alliances might shy away from dealing with their opponent's (2x) balls alltogether unless necessary for fear of goaltending, and focus mostly on their side. Any thoughts?
