My record is 21 and yes leaving the fourth ball, kick while drive, and 469 idea work the best especially since all balls roll to the far zone. My only issues are the balls are always in motion, it is impossible to run up against a wall making herding hard, and just seems kinda slow but overall it is a great tool. I have noticed new things in a game I wouldn't have before.
I too hope there is 5th Gear at IRI, I really want to play with at least a second robot on the field!
Chris and I just might own together!
