I'd reduce that max capacity a bit for a more realistic value.
I would keep it at the same number of balls possible, because although there are some precariously sitting on the top in that model, there are also none looped around the poles as will happen in a real competition leaving room for more.

Take away 5 on top, but re-add them on the attached poles.

~20 seems realistic to me when you think that way.


Also, as a side not to PacoLikeTaco, I see you modeled the tower with the fabric on it going by the team's version to build one.
The actual tower where the fabric is located is not a half cylinder, but rather a full one.
Just thought I would throw that out there if you want a TRUE model of the Trailer.
