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

Personally, I think the KISS-er you make your bot, the more balls you *should* be able to store. We have 5 motors, no pneumatics, and all of our electronics and motors below 9 inches. As previously stated, we have a ~40 ball capacity. As you can imagine, pretty much everything above that 9 inch mark is ball storage/scoring mechanism. Of course, some scoring methods lend themselves to more or less ball capacity, depending on the size of the mechanisms required.
