: After looking at most of the robots this year I noticed that there are no robots that concentrate on just small balls. Is anybody concentrating on just that part of the game?

I'll bet that some teams will specialize in this. The powerhouse alliances will have the first bot over the bridge fill the far goal with black balls, while the last bot carries over the near goal after it's filled by the human players.

It's a time sharing thing. With 4x for double goal balancing on the bridge and maybe 2x (or more, if everyone is really good) for the clock, those far black balls are worth 80 - 100 points. It's all a question of efficient parallel tasking while the clock ticks.
