Let me know what you think, i need better arguments for why we should pick up a ball.

If those people think you will only have the opportunity to pick up twice during a match, I would argue that they are horribly mistaken. Consider for a second the number of balls in play. Even if only 10 balls from each team ends up on the floor, that is still 60 balls available for gathering. I think there will be a multitude of balls on the floor with the misses from hp's and bots. Let's not forget that we will be shooting at moving targets either from a moving bot, over a 6.5" wall, or from a seated position. How about the autonomous modes that try to score their 7 starting balls in an enemy? From my experience with autonomous, it is more likely than not that this will lead to 7 balls on the floor.
Just my 2 cents.
