I most certianly agree with you on that. Which is why we can tilt the hood down and spew them in at point blank.

We wanted to do a dumper this year. The downside to dumpers is that they can be slow. And slow is not good in a game where the goals move If you can't fill a trailer fast, they'll get away.

What kind of prep? We just dumped them in the hopper (which is something we could do in a match) and shot them out...

We can also pick them up from the ground.

We'll have to wait and see how long it takes to collect 10 balls in a lunacy match. Our team is betting it will take quite a bit of time. I'm highly doubtful many teams will collect 20+ balls on average.
