NO. No. Nonononono. Build guidelines: 1) Always decide what you want your robot to do before you design it. 2) Always design before you build. 3) NEVER EVER change your design in a big way after you start building it.
In this case, if you want a hopper, just leave the top open. If you have time/weight/space on your current design, then add something to help snare HP throws.
