Why only one ball?

Multiple times a minute, yes.

BUT

Even 2008 World Champion team 1114, with Simbot SS being arguably the most dominant robot in FRC since 71 in 2002, was only consistently doing 6-7 hurdles in a match.

I expect that a top team flying solo in 2014 will be able to achieve 6, maybe 7 1-assist cycles. Top alliances at championship will be lucky to push 5 3-assist cycles in a match.
