Collecting all the balls would still leave about half the volume for other robot parts!

Brought to you by a member of team 343 (7^3).
Actually.. well.. yeah.. sure... You may be right. I fit 149 in this configuration here - Minus gravity of course.

Oh, and as far as my stance on this thread in general, Hoppers are way overrated for the simple fact that they have potential for jamming.
