Thanks! The biggest trick we have for keeping polycarbonate clean is to use dry erase markers to mark it. We try not to ever use sharpie if we can get around it. But to clean it we use a bit of WD-40 and some elbow grease.

21 balls is actually the max safe capacity we can hold 3-4 more but then we gamble with jamming our system. And yes we can pick up balls without them falling out of the top. The upper most roller spins in reverse to stage balls and then spins outwards to "shoot" them. Here's a pic of what the bot'll look like fully loaded.
