Each trailer can actually hold somewhere around 30 - 35 balls in "real world" competition scenarios, regardless perhaps his modified Lunacy isn't designed for trailer filling? Perhaps the risks and rewards of power dumping in both trailers 10 seconds into the match versus the last 10 seconds are something for the drivers and coaches to weigh. I dunno if that was the intent of the designers though.
(This reminds me... sometimes it might be best to take a 3/4s full trailer when the rest are empty and "bait" a dumper into capping it off, allowing you to use that robot with their trailer for less risky defensive action. And less Supercell scoring targets?)

Thought that'd be worth adding, you know.
That's actually my favorite part of this year; where last year the third pick had a good chance of making little difference in a lot of matches, in Lunacy it became vital consistently.
