catching the balls as they fall will be an excellent strategy if the release ball is knocked loose by your alliance in auton mode - but it has some weaknesses

getting the 24 balls into the goal is going to require keeping both corrals fed with a steady stream of balls, for both HPs, and getting the ones that miss so they can shoot again.
Okay I understand. There are teams that do this as well though, I know our team can, and I have seen others as well that ahve some type of hopper or storage mechanism. If I'll look later and link some pics.
