Oh, well, I would if it wasn't for the people on my team that would lynch me if I said our robot stinks. Let's see, how about the fact that I designed half of the thing? Well, not designed, more like, "winged". You know it's bad when ALL the motor mounts I "designed" was done on the fly. I think all the parts I touch will collapse the moment it touches the field. Oh, and the robot will spontaneously combust the moment it moves.
40 balls? Oh yes, we can store that much. We dumped 40 balls into the hopper and it all fit and worked. And we could gather that much...given time. I think that's the main problem - time. Sure, the hoppers can FIT that many balls, but do we have time to fill it up that much? Is it PRACTICAL to fit that much? I don't think so. We mainly went for "Make the box so big so that we'll never need to use it all". So, what difference does it make if we can store 40 balls, as opposed to someone being able to store 30? There's only 80 balls to go around anyways. My prediction is that the most people will ever get in their hoppers is around 20. Any more, and it's kinda of excessive.
