Re: a bunch of ball II

another aspect here is TIME. you will have, at most, 80 consecutive seconds to collect AND SCORE balls. Since it's highly unlikely that balls will be clustered together, that means, in addition to actually picking them up, some driving will almost certainly be required. And there are also 5 other bots on the field with you, also attempting to collect (or prevent you from collecting) balls. So while your bot may be capable of holding 25 or 30 balls, all those other factors will make that very VERY hard.
