Also, to answer some of your questions,
"How easily can the magnet sensor detect the magnet balls?"
Last year, with the PVC pipes, it was difficult and often unreliable. We used different magnet sensors.
"With a most of the balls on the field, how many can a good collector grab in a minute?"
Idealistically, lots. Watch some videos of Hot Shot to get some ideas.

Except for the one rule for only holding 15 balls at once Thats going to be the difficult part for alot of teams I think is getting an intake that can intake no more than 15 at once... The balls are so small I think that getting systems that don't jam, and funnel balls nicely will be a difficult part of design this year.
