If you move the top conveyor roller over and add a second output roller right next to it, you can make the conveyor and output two separate systems and eliminate the balls falling out. The balls would pile up at the top and be ready for dumping when you actually wanted to. Should be an easy fix looking at the design you already have and you still have plenty of time.
Alrighty dude, when we were talking on with team 816 a few weeks ago and asked what they were doing (EWCP). They said a shooter/dumper combo. So their plan is to have mass storage and bring it up like a shooter. But instead of shooting, they are making it a dumper. So hope that clears the confusion.
