This is a good idea, however you wouldn't want to make it be able to hold very many balls to reduce the risk of carrying more than three and reduce the time it takes for the balls to get from the ground to the launching mechanism. It would really only be useful for a specific design that requires this for something the belts can't do. Not trying to shoot down the idea, just clarifying any downsides.
