If you look closely both teams actually did have balls in the rear chute. We had them spaced ~1 ball apart since we were using a starting box autonomous mode and needed some time for the wheel to spin back up before feeding another ball. 254 had them almost touching, as they drove up ~12 feet before shooting. 254's hopper looks full because they funnel their balls higher in the hopper.

It was a great match! Unfortunately, we drove backwards down the ramp and ended up tipping in the first period with only 25 seconds on the clock.
