Re: Ball Capacity? How Much is Too Much? And Can You Use It For A Strategical Advanta

If the balls fit in semi-ideally, we should be able to store 35-40 balls in our hopper, plus a few more in the conveyor belt system. The way I see it, your alliance starts out with 60 balls. If each robot on your alliance starts out with 7, then that leaves 39 total balls left with the Payload Special1sts. If your robot is the one your alliance wants to do the majority of the scoring, that could be 40 balls from just your alliance going to your bot. Plus all the balls on the ground floating around, having a lot of storage could end up being a competitive advantage. Honestly though, I have no clue how this game is going to play out, here's to watching the week 1 webcasts!
