I do not believe that a program side counter will fix this issue because if your robot is disabled for any reason during the match it will not clear the balls correctly from your 'tube'.
<G36> is very clear that the balls must be able to be removed from the robot without powering the robot up, regardless of the state it was in at the end of the match.
Looks like you have a little bit of redesign ahead of you.
