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.

The top roller acts as a stop most of the time. We're having a programming issue at the moment so it won't reverse. When working correctly the balls stage in our conveyor system.
