We have a 1 point shooter on our robot as well, but have had no ball cloggage problems even when full at the begining of the match. The secret: Shoot more than one ball at once.

The clogging problem occurs when you try to funnel the balls into too small of an opening, so you want to make your opening as wide as possible. Ours shot out a stream that was two balls wide and they still shot fairly straight. Just make your hopper funnel down to the width of your roller and that will eliminate some ball clogging problems.
