Yes, I am planning to position the robot to drive straight to a corner goal in the beginning of the match. It has also been suggested to me that I might know that a corner goal is there by detecting the robot go up a ramp - the corner goal is up a light ramp. Could someone please give me an opinion on this idea?

One option is to simply tell your robot to drive forward for X number of seconds (time your robot doing the run to see how long to set X for), then release all your balls. That way, if you start it facing the near corner goal it will drive straight up to it and drop all the balls, just like you want it to do. It will take a little experimentation to get this working just right, but it is an easy way to get an autonomous mode working, and if you have trouble, there are plenty of smart people on this forums that can help!
