We did the same thing at VCU. We found that when the balls moved towards the entrance of the goal, or backwards from normal scoring direction, they would count as multiple balls. When the corral got to just under 20 balls they would be backed up enough to usually cause counting errors so we had field reset volunteers working to try and keep the number of balls in the corral low to prevent miscounting.

Related to that, I saw a few times where a human player would gesture and point at something on the field and stick an arm into the view of the camera. Should have been a DQ by G39.
