We are aware of this risk. There's room for 4 balls, actually.
If we come up on multiple balls, we plan to either kick fast or reverse the direction of the roller. We don't expect the floor to be littered with balls like last year, and we think that a wide roller/kicker will make it much easier to acquire a ball in the heat of battle. We don't need to be lined up on it - just in the general neighborhood.
