It does look confusing because you cannot measure depth in a 2D video like this, and the crate and the goal are the same color plywood. If it was shot from the side you would see:
Crate______Guy with can______Goal_______<balls going left____Guy by launcher.
the simplist explaination in this case is the correct one.

Yes, it would make sense if it is a crate back there. However, there still isn't any proof that anything they could put on a robot will do this. And the sound is still puzzling me, count how many wooshes you hear during launching. Can someone split this and get a sound print picture to count them? Versus how many balls are launched, I think I count 7 wooshes but only 5 balls. What is that voice saying in the end, why is there a crash at the end of the launching?
I suspect they have some laucher set up with a tube full of 10 balls. Turn it on and have a kid push down on the tower of balls and quickly force them all into the launcher part.
The sound sucks in the first video it does 2 different tones it starts boop, boop, boop, then goes beep, beep, beeep. The second half sounds like drums and the first almost like a xylophone. I suspect the first was sped up and reversed. And also look at the balls going in, wouldn't a mechanical launcher to it more uniformly instead of having 2 go in a the same time?
