Update #17 looks as if the GDC has tried to solve one problem but created others.
Q: How do the teams retrieve the balls form
outside the zone without a high risk of
stepping outside the zone?
A: Put the totes close to the line beside/behind the corral.
Q: How do we keep the human counters,field attendants, and refs from tripping over the totes?
Q: Why not put the excess balls in the garbage cans (err - High Goal Storage Units)
A: The cans were meant to hold balls - the teams are accustomed to getting them from there - the cans are already inside the alliance zone.

Good question! Why not put them there?
