: I am pretty skeptical about being able to balance the chutes on the ramp without a robot up there. I've given it quite a bit of thought, and couldn't come up with a system of balancing from off the ramp, that was as reliable as balancing from on the ramp. I also wonder if small balls will even be picked up off the floor, because loading from the human player station is so efficient.

That's an interesting point, even if you load just from the player station, that's a max of 10 balls per goal... realistic score count attempt here...

10 black balls per goal (2): 20
2 large balls on goals (10): 20
3 robots in end zone (10): 30
1 robot/stretcher in endzone (20): 20
2 goals balanced on bridge (2x2): 4x
Under 60sec (2x1): 2x

that's 540... so i'm looking at that as closer to the real high scores we're going to see...
