Personally, I'm not worried about balls getting stuck on top.
It can happen though, but we found that it's a bit difficult to do unless our robot is stationary. I tested it under our ball return on our practice field and also by throwing/dropping balls on top and found that a ball has the tendancy to bounce at least once or twice after hitting the top of our robot and usually this is enough to get the ball off of our machine. If a ball does get stuck then it's just a matter of driving forward or backwards and stopping abruptly.
