Re: Hopper Capacity

It will be difficult to get more than 30-40 balls /and/ shoot them in the 2 minute period - and if you're not going to shoot them, then not only do you hurt your opponents, but you hurt your own team. Also, if you score with those balls before very near to the end, then the opponents can throw them near/in their robots. Plus, more space takes up more weight, which means cuts on other things (probably more important things) that you could be using the weight on.
