With robots trying to hang we should have enough balls.

Keep in mind, though, that not all 12 are going to be on the field, and many mechanisms could be made that hang you in less than 5 seconds. Can you score 2 points reliably in 10 or so seconds? If so, I want you on my alliance while I'm hanging.
