Perhaps this would be the shining moment for the CMUcam. Mount it along some tube inside the robot that the balls pass through, and by seeing red/blue/yellow balls, it'd be sorted into bins that could then be dumped out as needed.
Of course, I also see the up side to larger playground balls--you can get whacked in the head with them and not hurt as much. (Playground balls to the head will stun you for a moment, but anything that passes a FIRST inspection can't throw it hard enough to bruise or anything. Golf balls, on the other hand...)
